Women in Sports also contains infographics on topics that sporty women want to know about, such as muscle anatomy, a timeline of women’s participation in sports, pay and media statistics for female athletes, and influential women’s teams. This beautiful and inspiring bookcelebrates the success of the tough, bold, and fearless women who paved the way for today’s athletes.
