Editorial Review
From School Library Journal
Gr 7 Up--Women and Sports opens with an introductory essay that traces female involvement in sports through the ages, beginning with ancient Greece and ending with current trends. The alphabetically organized entries cover athletes, sports, organizations, and social issues (discrimination, pregnancy, steroid use, and eating disorders). The women profiled are all American-born or naturalized citizens. The poorly reproduced black-and-white photographs are dark and difficult to make out; they add little to the text. Women and the Military contains a well-thought-out, alphabetical listing of women, places, organizations (U.S. Coast Guard Academy, the Minerva Center), social and legal issues (pregnancy, hazing, Public Law 90-130), terminology ("mop commando"), and battles. An introductory essay delineates women's roles in warfare, beginning with ancient times and then focusing on the American military. Black-and-white photos extend the text. The entries in both titles have see-also references and bibliographic citations consisting of books and magazine articles. Both volumes are well organized and clearly written and would make sound purchases for collections looking for information on women's history.
