Stunningly illustrated and illuminating stories about inspiring
athletes.

It's a gorgeous book, full of top notch production values. The text
is clear and concise but full of interesting details. The
illustrations are bold and impactful and bright and busy and, above
all, exciting. All the women look wonderfully powerful. Such care
has been taken that Women in Sport is a book you'll return to over
and over again. I hope it inspires a whole new generation of girls
to take up sport and succeed in it.

Women in Sport is a sensational successor to last year's Women in
Science...women who trained and competed with grit are celebrated
in this beautiful compendium.

So many women's achievements in sport have been overlooked in
favour of men's over the years, so it's a great pleasure to see
these 50 women celebrated in this marvellous follow up to Rachel
Ignotofsky's Women in Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the
World...The text is engaging and factual, represented clearly and
with a focus on inspiring and empowering readers. It's great that
we're now seeing these specialised, themed women collections, and
exciting that children's knowledge is being expanded to include so
many strong and fearless athletes.
