This provocative and inspiring book
raises questions like these and explores
them with the champions, among them
Jackie Joyner-Kersee; race-car driver Lyn
St. James; Julie Croteau, first woman
college baseball player; dog-sled racer
Susan Butcher; an unnamed lesbian golf
champion; and more. The author has
also talked to scores of women who are
not professionals but who love sports.
Women s athletics are at a crossroads.
More women play or watch sports than
ever before in American history. Millions
of women swim, run, and do aerobics
regularl): There s a burgeoning growth
in the number of women who play golf
and volleyball.
In professional sports, the change is
even more striking. There are huge
purses for women s professional tennis
and golf, and eight other sports have
professional leagues for women.
