Whatever It Takes: Women on Women's Sport Paperback - 1999

by Joli Sandoz (Editor); Joby Winans (Editor)


From the publisher

The first anthology of women's personal essays on sports, from Elizabeth Cady Stanton on bicycling to Anna Seaton Huntington on rowing With edge, passion, and depth, Whatever It Takes demonstrates the enormous importance of sports for girls and women. These essays deal with everything from finding a mentor - whether it's an Olympic gold winner or a neighborhood coach-to reveling in female team spirit. There are historical selections, as well as discussions of such developments as Title IX. The contributors, including world-class athletes and celebrated writers from Mariah Burton Nelson and Grace Butcher to Diane Ackerman and Maxine Kumin, tackle traditional favorites such as basketball and softball as well as more exotic sports from boxing and motorcycle racing to rock climbing. Both timely and riveting, Whatever It Takes will appeal to the rapidly growing ranks of female athletes and to their enthusiastic followers.

First line

The first time I entered the Grand Avenue boxing gym, a few of the men jumping rope stopped to watch me.
