Product Description
In recent decades the number of American girls and women committed to competitive sports has grown dramatically. Written by a wide range of authors, including Adrienne Rich, Marge Piercy, and Ellen Gilchrist, this wonderful collection of stories, poems, and novel excerpts deals with all the aspects of women’s competitive sports.Amazon.com Review
Imagine an all-star team of writers such as Adrienne Rich, Fannie Hurst, Marge Piercy, Betty Bao Lord, Maxine Kumin, Tess Gallagher, and Laurie Colwin. Now imagine them casting their considerable literary prowess into the sporting ring. These writers form the core of an impressive roster in this long-overdue anthology. Filled with passion and insight, these poems, stories, and excerpts play all fields and beautifully explore and explain the different layers of exuberance and anguish unique to the sporting experience of women. These are no simple tales of victory, but rather finely wrought musings on the genuine possibilities that sports and competition hold out to the human spirit.
