Playing Ball with the Boys: The Rise of Women in… por Betsy Ross
Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.As a female sports fan who enjoys sports and curses at the television way more than my husband does, I really enjoyed this book. I live about an hour and a half from ESPN, and this book made me want to eventually try and get a job there once we buy a second car. It was so inspirational to me and showed how women could be sports experts too.
Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.I had high hopes for this book and ended up mildly disappointed.

- her resume
- how her gender hindered her
- advice for the younger generation.
Also, everyone cheers about Title IX, the legislation that has helped provide equal opportunities for both genders in sports. Everyone that Ross talks to has no problem with Title IX until the very end of the book where negative issues are given a page. While Ross's book is inspirational to any young women who wants to enter sports, it glosses over more important issues.… (más)
