Game Changers: The Unsung Heroines of Sports History

by Molly Schiot

Gift Book of the Week , December 5, 2016

Add this big, beautiful new volume to the growing shelf of books celebrating ground-breaking women (Rad Women Worldwide, Dead Feminists, Women in Science, and more), with portraits and profiles of better-remembered athletes (Nadia Comaneci, Wilma Rudolph) alongside many more whose remarkable lives have been almost entirely forgotten (judo pioneer Rena Kanokogi, bullfighter Conchita Cintron). A lovely, inspiring gift for a young (or old) athlete in your life.
