| Publisher Description: Women have traditionally been discouraged from participating in sporting activities. Undaunted, female athletes and sportswomen of all kinds have demonstrated their courage and inner strength to break records and demolish outdated notions of the weaker sex. Now, the professionalisation of women's sports such as football, rugby and cricket has led to renewed popularity and commercial investment big time. Some of the women featured include: Serena Williams ● Megan Rapinoe ● Lindsay Vonn ● Paula Radcliffe ● Tracey Edwards● Sarah Storey ● Simone Biles ● Bethany Hamilton ● Fu-Yuanhui ● Aina Nehwal ● Ellen McArthur ● Jessica Ennis-Hill and many more... With colour photos and around 20 interviews with contemporary women in sport. |
