The growth of women’s sports hasn’t – yet – been matched by a real growth in the number of sports books by, about and for women.
Here’s Joe Layden’s “Women in Sports: The Complete Book on the World’s Greatest Female Athletes”. And once again we go to Goodreads for a list of ‘Women in sports’ books.
I’ll quote from one piece from one book, “Nike is a Goddess.”
“…from Gertrude Ederle’s historic swim across the English Channel to Billie Jean King’s victory over Bobby Riggs in the Battle of the Sexes, Nike Is a Goddess tells the inspiring stories of women opening up an arena that had been closed to them. Nike Is a Goddess pays tribute to the athletes who led the way and serves as inspiration to those who will come after.”
