Nice Girls Don't Sweat

Sammy Kay can't help but notice that athletic women have always been a dangerous lot. "After all, it's hard to think of yourself as weak and dependent after you've just run five miles."

the All American Red Heads
19th-century bicycle craze
play days
sports fashions
medical theories
ancient Greeks
Olympic sex tests
African-American athletes
All-Girls Professional Baseball League

high school gym class
Little League
media coverage
Title IX
famous foremothers in sport
exclusionary membership practices
femininity/sexuality stereotypes
and more....

"At the original Olympics, women weren't allowed on the sacred grounds as participants or even as spectators -- upon penalty of death. I can see where that would tend to dampen my enthusiasm."
