This discussion of women's entry into the male-dominated world of
sports chronicles the evolution of public attitudes and private
ambitions from the 1950s to the present. The book identifies the
intricacies of equality, difference and self-determination that
have shaped women's participation in sport. Highlighting tennis,
basketball and intercollegiate sports, the book explores the
strategies which women have used to assert dual roles as athletes
and women. The author finds that, in order to avoid negative
stereotyping, the commonest strategy was and still is "apology" for
taking an interest in sports. The book's epilogue covers the
changing fortunes and future of women's sports in the 1990s,
demonstrating that although the situation has improved
significantly since the 1950s, there is still along road ahead.
