Beschreibung

Greatest Women Athletes explores the remarkable lives and careers of female athletes who have not only achieved greatness in their sports but have also challenged gender norms and inspired social change. The book delves into their relentless pursuit of excellence, showcasing the intense training and mental fortitude required to reach the top. Readers will discover how these pioneering women navigated pervasive sexism and discrimination, often facing ridicule and a lack of resources. Their accomplishments are not just personal victories, but testaments to perseverance against systemic barriers.

 
This sports biography unfolds in three parts, starting with pioneers like Babe Didrikson Zaharias, a versatile athlete who defied categorization, and Althea Gibson, who broke the color barrier in tennis. It then moves to mid-to-late 20th-century icons such as Billie Jean King, whose fight for equal pay resonated globally, and Nadia Comaneci, whose perfect gymnastics score revolutionized her sport. Finally, the book examines contemporary athletes like Serena and Venus Williams, whose dominance has challenged racial stereotypes.

 
Drawing from diverse sources, including biographies and statistical data, the book analyzes not only athletic achievements but also the social and cultural forces that shaped these women's lives. By focusing on the intersection of sports, gender, and social justice, Greatest Women Athletes offers a unique perspective on how athletic achievements can catalyze broader societal progress, making it valuable for sports enthusiasts and those interested in women's history and equality in sports.

    'At what feels like a pivotal moment, Carrie’s forensic research and depth of knowledge make her the perfect person to guide us through the constantly changing landscape of women’s football' - Kelly Cates, TV presenter 
     
    England's Lionesses are on the front and back pages; their stars feature on prime-time television; they are named in the national honours lists for their contribution to their sport and to society. The names of Lucy Bronze, Steph Houghton and Ellen White are emblazoned across the backs of children’s replica jerseys. These women are top athletes – and top celebrities. But in 1921, the Football Association introduced a ban on women’s football, pronouncing the sport 'quite unsuitable for females'. 
     
    That ban would last for half a century - but despite official prohibition the women’s game went underground. From the Dick, Kerr Ladies touring the world to the Lost Lionesses who played at the unsanctioned Women's World Cup in Mexico in 1971, generations of women defied the restrictions and laid the foundations for today's Lionesses - so much so that in 2018 England's Women’s Super League became the first fully professional league in Europe...when just a few decades previously women were forbidden to play the sport in England at all. 
     
    This book tells the story of women’s football in England since its 19th-century inception through pen portraits of its trailblazers. The game might have once been banned because of its popularity – find out about the subversive women who kept organising their teams and matches despite the prohibition, who broke barriers and set records – the legends of the game who built the foundations of the stage upon which today’s stars flourish.

    Brilliant, witty, perceptive essays about fly-fishing, the natural world, and life in general by the acknowledged master of fishing writers. 
     
     
     
    "In the world of fishing there are magic phrases that are guaranteed to summon the demon. Among them are: 'remote trout lake,' 'fish up to thirteen pounds,' 'the place the guides fish on their days off,'" writes John Gierach in this wonderful collection of thirteen essays inspired by a fishing trip to Rat Lake, a remote body of water in Montana. Once again John Gierach does what he does best—explain the peculiarities of the fishing life in a way that will amuse novices and seasoned fly fishers alike. The View from Rat Lake deftly examines man in nature and nature in man, the pleasures of fishing the high country, and the high and low comedy that occasionally overcomes even the best-planned fishing trip.
