Women in Sport celebrates the success of the tough, bold and
fearless women who paved the way for today's athletes. The
sportswomen featured include well-known figures like tennis player
Serena Williams and broadcaster Clare Balding, as well as
lesser-known pioneers like Gertrude Ederle, the first woman to swim
the English Channel, and Keiko Fukuda, the highest-ranked female
judoka in history. From the creator of the bestselling Women in
Science, this richly illustrated book highlights the achievements
and stories of fifty notable sportswomen from the 1800s to today,
including trailblazers, Olympians and record-breakers in more than
forty sports. It also contains infographics on topics such as
muscle anatomy, pay and media statistics for female athletes, and
influential women's teams.
