The Gender Sports Gap

The stories sports history forgot. The stories we forgot. 

Women have always shaped sport. They broke records, challenged conventions and changed what people believed the female body could achieve. Yet many of their names, victories and struggles disappeared from the history we were taught.

The Gender Sports Gap brings these stories back into view. Chapter by chapter, this growing book explores the athletes, events and decisions that shaped women’s sport — and asks why so many of them were forgotten. Or muted.
