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.

I had high hopes for this book and ended up mildly disappointed. The stories were interesting and there was a decent range of people working in sports in different capacities, but there wasn't really any depth to any of the discussions. It was just a series of 'I worked really hard, and was eventually successful!' stories.

I found this book disappointingly repetitive. I was hoping for a narrative...or conversation...about and between the women featured. It's definitely not something to read cover to cover.

As a freelance female sports writer, I found the topic of the book incredibly interesting. However, it lacks a deeper perspective of women's role in sports. Betsy Ross tells in the stories of her and other women who have found their way in the testosterone saturated world of sports. Ross, a journalist, not only presents the profiles of other female journalists but of female athletes, coaches and team managers. While every women has a unique story, the profiles become formulaic. They all follow the pattern of
- how she got into sports
- 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.… (lisätietoja)
