Description:

"When women in sports achieve a victory it's a celebration for everyone," observes Lessa in her introductory essay to Women Who Win. Gathering 22 superb women athletes from a wide spectrum of arenas, the roster includes Tara Lipinksi (figure skating), Teresa Edwards (basketball), Julie Foudy (soccer), Missy Giove (mountain biking), Julie Krone (horse racing), Lisa Fernandez (softball), Jackie Joyner-Kersee (track and field), and Picabo Street (skiing). Lessa allows these woman champions room to tell their own stories in their own words: who they are, what they've faced, how they've overcome, and what motivates them. All speak eloquently about what it means to be a woman in what remains at the highest levels a traditionally male playpen. The words are stirring, and so are the stunning photographs that accompany them in this big-format presentation. --Jeff Silverman
