Description
A comprehensive text for young readers about women in sport through the ages. While concentrating on individual sports and sportswomen, this book is also about the toughness, resilience and capabilities of women. The author refutes the myth that women's sporting achievements are second-rate and brings to light some of the sporting heroines who don't appear in the histories.
