Frailty Myth Redefining the Physical Potential of Women and Girls

"I loved this book. Dowling describes the achievements of the first woman to play men's pro baseball, the girls' soccer team that beat all the boys' teams in the 1993 Ohio games, a 10th-grader who made the all-state Georgia football team. Katherine Switzer dodged irate officials to compete in the all-male Boston Marathon. Bev Francis changed the face of women's bodybuilding by refusing to limit the size of her muscles to appropriately feminine proportions. Billie Jean King beat Bobby Riggs. These stories are so inspirational that I would like to believe every word Dowling says--but some of her argument is just wishful thinking."Dowling, Colette is the author of 'Frailty Myth Redefining the Physical Potential of Women and Girls', published 2001 under ISBN 9780375758157 and ISBN 0375758151.
