Playing Like a Girl : Transforming Our Lives Through Team Sports

Rating:
Summary: A "must have" for school libraries
Review: As we mark the 30th anniversary of Title IX of the Education Amendments we take notice of its impact on the number of girls and women now playing team sports. The opportunities for girls and women to compete on the playing fields have increased greatly in the last years. Playing Like a Girl outlines the battles fought to get to this stage and shows how playing team sports gives females the confidence that they can succeed, thus leading to greater strength and self esteem. As a former school librarian I encourage all school libraries to purchase multiple copies of this book....and watch them fly off the shelves !!! Linda Lusskin
