Praise for Strong Like a Woman: 100 Game-changing Female Athletes
“While there is still work to be done in the women’s sports landscape, more opportunities for female athletes exist than ever. Published in conjunction with SI, Strong Like a Woman profiles 100 pioneers—some familiar (Serena Williams), some less so (mountain climber Kirstie Ennis). With the 50th anniversary of Title IX upcoming, the book fittingly honors the giants on whose shoulders today’s women’s sports stars stand.” —SPORTS ILLUSTRATED
