Take Me Out to the Ball Game' is about a woman who loves baseball.It's true. The song we've all heard at the ballpark is really only the chorus of a 1908 song that begins,'Katie Casey was baseball mad, Had the fever and had it bad.'But in 1908 women wouldn't have dared play baseball. Today's girls and young women have no idea that most of their mothers weren't allowed to play little league, didn't get to participate in NCAA sponsored championships, and had only two real options for professional sports careers: tennis and golf.Women, Sport & Physical Activity: Challenges & Triumphs recounts the history, struggle, and triumphs of women in sport. Students learn about women in sport from four distinct perspectives: historical, sociological, psychological and biomedical. This approach offers students the most comprehensive view of how the struggle of women in sport has forced open doors for women in so many other areas.The broad range of topics in Women, Sport & Physical Activity: Challenges & Triumphs includes: the history of 'appropriate athletics for women,' the passage and effects of Title IX, the economics of 'big time' sports, selfesteem and women's sports, the impact of sports on women's health, among many others.Appropriate for courses in womens studies, kinesiology, sport psychology, Women, Sport & Physical Activity: Challenges & Triumphs features: Activity sheets in every chapter for practical application of theories Discussion questions after each article stimulate classroom discussion and critical thinking. Current articles ensure students have the newest material. Correlated readings and a complete bibliography offer opportunity for further research and assignments.
