Crashing the Old Boys' Network The Tragedies and Triumphs of Girls and Women in Sports

"For too many people, argues David Salter, sports is about men being male. The subject of 'Crashing the Old Boys Network' is the enormous amount of gut anger created when women, men and sports collide. It's also about how much and how little women have gained on the playing field since Congress passed Title IX in 1972 and decreed that girls in schools and colleges receiving federal funding must have the same athletic opportunities as boys. Salters looks at high-school and college athletics as well as the merchandising and media coverage of women's pro basketball, tennis and golf to show that women haven't come far enough."Salter, David F. is the author of 'Crashing the Old Boys' Network The Tragedies and Triumphs of Girls and Women in Sports' with ISBN 9780275955120 and ISBN 0275955125.
