Illustrated profiles of fifty pioneering female athletes, from the author of the New York Times bestseller Women in Science.

A charmingly illustrated and inspiring book, Women in Sports highlights the achievements and stories of fifty notable women athletes--from well-known figures like tennis player Billie Jean King and gymnast Simone Biles, to lesser-known athletes like skateboarding pioneer Patti McGee and Toni Stone, the first woman to play baseball in a men's professional league.

Women in Sports celebrates the success of the tough, bold, and fearless women who paved the way for the next generation of athletes.
