Rating: Summary: Go Girl Go Review: For every woman who loves sports and the women who actively persue them this is a must book! Pictures and information are outstanding, informative and thought provoking. Everything from our newest heroes to women in the past that some of us may not have even recognized. I enjoyed every page of this book and have even ordered it as gifts for friends who like me love to see females who excel in their fields.

Rating: Summary: A great book to own and give to others! Review: Gameface is a terrific, fun, and interesting book for people of all ages. I am 39 and loved reading the essays, the history, and the photos of women in action. I was inspired! Last night, when some family friends were over, people who are more "intellectuals" than "sports enthusiasts" -- they wouldn't leave because EVERYONE IN THEIR FAMILY -- AGES 12 TO 65 WANTED THEIR CHANCE TO READ THE BOOK!! The 64 year old father, an amateur photographer, wanted to look at every page and commented on the vast array of excellently selected pictures. The 65 year old mother said she was just beginning to go to a gym and liked the pictures of the women and girls, young and old. Their 19 year old basketball playing daughter loved the book -- she was looking at the pictures, reading the essays, commenting on women, sports, asking questions, etc. Watching her, I was convinced that I would buy this book to give to people I know... for it really strikes a chord with people to see girls and women in a positive light, playing hard, looking like real people! (with wonderful quotes next to the pictures.) And their 12 year old son, he wanted his turn too -- he thought the book was "cool" and talked about the girls on the teams he is on -- and how they are very serious! I highly recommend this book to entire families -- and certainly women of my age who played sports in high school and today try to stay active. It is a terrific! (I hope to see the exhibit in Washington DC too -- or when it travels to my city)
Rating: Summary: Game Face: What Does A Female Athlete Look Like? Review: Great book for all ages. A lot of the pictures don't need stories to accompany them, they speak for themselves. Excellent book to read and also to give as a gift to any young up and coming athlete.

Rating: Summary: Fabulous book! Review: I asked for this book for a holiday gift, and just loved it. Very inspiring, fabulous pictures that show women of all ages, colors, and body shapes. I loved the stories and the quotes that accompanied some of the pictures. Definately a great book to give as a gift - to someone else or yourself!
Rating: Summary: Fabulous for school-age girls to see! Review: I recently received a copy of Game Face as a gift and had a chance to read through it and take in the pictures. A great book for the coffee table so that others can see. What a powerful message for girls and women! The images are amazing and compelling. Get a copy for yourself and share it with someone special.
Rating: Summary: Shows the true female athlete Review: I saw the exhibit of the photographs in this book at the Smithsonian a year and a half ago and I was captivated. I knew immediately that I wanted this book. As an athlete myself, I know what all the stages of sports really are and I connected with the emotions expressed in the litte stories throughout the book. I would recommend this book to anyone, especially developing female athletes, because it is inspirational and exhilarating!!

Rating: Summary: Game Face : Great Gift Review: I threw this into my sister's Christmas package at the last minute because she has been such a tough and inspiring female athlete her entire life. I thought she would like to share the book with her young daughters. I was not prepared for her excited response. I plan to send it to other female - AND male - athletes I admire.
