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.

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.

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!!

Summary: Inspiring Content; Great Art
Review: These amazing photos of women in action not only honor women who've broken barriers, they contribute to a new definition of "woman" and "girl." The book goes way beyond the ordinary -- it includes pictures of famous athletes and athletes we've never heard of, young stars and veteran competitors. The text adds terrific insight into what the subjects were thinking; my favorite was the story of a woman who went out for her high school football team and told her parents the day of the game that she wouldn't be sitting with them in the stands. I'm buying "Game Face" for every teenage girl - maybe every woman - I know!

Review: This is a fabulous book for girls -- I have started getting it as a Bat Mitzvah present for nieces etc. who are into sports!

But it was also fascinating for myself as an adult to read through it. Their definition of "sports" is quite broad -- far beyond the usual basketball/soccer/etc. -- and the photos include women of all ages, races and body types. The essays by women athletes are also quite varied, offbeat and honest -- much more interesting than the typical magazine interview with star athletes.
