Presents the history, struggle, and triumphs of women in sport. Students learn about women in sport from four distinct perspectives: historical, sociological, psychological and biomedical. This approach offers students the most comprehensive view of how the struggle of women in sport has forced open doors in so many other areas
Take Me Out to the Ball Game" is about a woman who loves baseball.It's true. The song we've all heard at the ballpark is really only the chorus of a 1908 song that begins,
"Katie Casey was baseball mad, Had the fever and had it bad."
But in 1908 women wouldn't have dared play baseball. Today's girls and young women have no idea that most of their mothers weren't allowed to play little league, didn't get to participate in NCAA sponsored championships, and had only two real options for professional sports careers: tennis and golf.
