WOMEN IN SPORTS
50 Fearless Athletes Who Played to Win
Illustrated profiles of fifty pioneering women athletes, from the author of the New York Times bestseller Women in Science.
A charmingly illustrated and inspiring book, Women in Sports highlights the achievements and stories of fifty notable women athletes--from well-known figures like tennis player Billie Jean King and gymnast Simone Biles, to lesser-known athletes like skateboarding pioneer Patti McGee and Toni Stone, the first woman to play baseball in a men’s professional league.
Covering more than 70 women (including 26 Olympians), over 40 sports, and 15 countries, and full of striking, singular art, this fascinating collection also contains infographics about famous female teams, pay and media statistics for male and female athletes, and muscle anatomy. Women in Sports celebrates the success of the tough, bold, and fearless women who paved the way for the next generation of athletes.
