|
Venus vs: Venus Williams' fight for equal pay for women at one of the world's most prestigious tennis tournaments. |
|
Pat XO: A raw authentic portrait of Pat Summitt, the winningest coach in the history of NCAA basketball told through the eyes of those who know her best. |
|
Let them wear towels: An examination of the obstacles that faced women sports journalists as they fought to gain equal access to the "boys club" of the locker room. |
|
No limits: A look at the sport of free diving and Audrey Mestre's fateful attempt to beat Tanya Streeter's world record. |
|
Swoopes: Sheryl Swoopes has often been labeled as the female Michael Jordan. But as one of the first openly day professional athletes, a mother and four-time consecutive world champion, she's actually far more interesting. |
|
The diplomat: The story of figure skater Katarina Witt, two-time Olympic gold medalist and reluctant pawn of the Cold War. |
|
Runner: The stunning collision that defined the one thing missing in the otherwise brilliant career of distance runner Mary Decker. |
|
The 99ers: An insider account of the 1999 U.S. World Cup soccer team that broke new ground for women's sports. |
|
Branded: A thought-provoking exploration of the double standard placed on women athletes to be the best players on the field and the sexiest off them. |
