There were many that I had not heard of, but also several that many of us will recognize like Simone Biles and Serena Williams. I also appreciated the breadth of women and sports included. What I loved: The illustrations are stunning, artistic, full of color, and with words woven into the images. The book also includes a brief timeline of women's sports. The breadth of sports included is really impressive, encompassing not only tennis, basketball, and gymnastics, but also mushing and roller derby among others. Each page then features a woman who did great things in their sport or sports. The book begins and ends with powerful messages about what women and girls can achieve.
Listen to your heart, let it lead you, and you'll end up where you want to be.WOMEN IN SPORTS is a fantastic and inspiring board book about female athletes. She was inspired, and I think that is what "Women in Sports" is all about-inspiring those, both old and young, to do what they love, no matter how many times they were told off, no matter what everybody else told them. She loved reading about women like Flo Hymen whom also did what she loved and played volleyball. I even had my younger sister who plays volleyball read this book and she fell in love with "Women in Sports". I also liked reading about all of these powerful and wonderful women and all of their different sports ranging from mountaineering to basketball and volleyball. Girls are and can be just as good at sports, at everything else, just as good as the men and the boys are. I really admired this book and the author, Rachel Ignotofsky, for showing me and everyone else that girls are not the weaker gender. There were familiar names such as Simone Biles, Violet Palmer, Madge Syers, and Serena Williams along with some less familiar names like Kristi Yamaguchi, Babe Didrikson Zaharias or Gertrude Ederle.Īs a child doing sports, I was always told that boys were the athletic superiors and girls were the supposed "weaker gender". The timeline stretched from around 776 BC up until now (or at least until "Women in Sports' was published). I loved reading "Women in Sports" by Rachel Ignotofsky. I just want to say even before I begin discussing the book's contents, the cover already attracts the readers in, and that's an important part of getting someone to pick up a book in a bookstore or in a library.
