Women in sport - Rachel Ignotofsky

Women in Sport celebrates the success of the tough, bold
and fearless women who paved the way for today's athletes. The sportswomen featured include well-known figures like
tennis player
Serena Williams and broadcaster Clare Balding, as well as
lesser-known
pioneers like Gertrude Ederle, the first woman to swim the English
Channel, and Keiko Fukuda, the highest-ranked female judoka in history.

From the creator of the bestselling Women in Science, this richly illustrated book highlights the
achievements and stories of fifty notable sportswomen from the 1800s
to today, including trailblazers, Olympians and record-breakers in more
than forty sports. It also contains infographics on topics such as muscle
anatomy, pay and media statistics for female athletes, and influential
women's teams.
