Product Description
Today, there are women athletes who are media celebrities and a source of inspiration for many. But not long ago, being serious about sport was considered appropriate only for men and boys. Throughout the 20th century, women's increasing participation in sport has challenged our conception of womanhood. Some celebrated the female athlete as the embodiment of modern womanhood, but others brander her "mannish" or lesbian. Ultimately, she altered the perception of sport as an exclusively male domain.
