Overview
As female participation in violent sports such as boxing, hockey & martial arts grows, so do the questions. It can no longer be called a noveltyÓ or a gimmickÓ as it has been in the past. So why do women participate in violent sports, & what does it mean? This book includes the author's personal experience as an athlete & the experiences & thoughts of other women, some well-known, some not, all of them defying traditional gender roles. Through interviews & research with athletes, coaches & observers, as well as with trained mental health professionals interested in the phenomenon, the reasons why women participate in contact sports -- & what they get out of them are examined.
