| Summary |
"Though the change in American women's sports is evident in schools, the media, and local playing fields, scholars are still in the early stags of fully examining the causes and impacts of this historic shift. This volume brings together scholarly articles, journalism, political and legal documents, and first-person accounts that collectively explore women's sports in America, with emphasis on the post-Title IX era."--Jacket. |
