An upbeat and optimistic, if generic, survey of shifting gender paradigms in sports culture. "Raising Our Athletic Daughters" deftly and sensitively navigates the issues of prejudice, abuse and ultimate success in competitive female athletes. The book is practical as much as theoretical and anecdotal, even if slightly behind the times. I wanted more sociological theory, but that is a minor gripe.

Excellent book about the challenges our daughters face in society today and how sports can help them build their self esteem. This would be a great read for parents of girls as well as coach's and anyone else who works with girl athletes.
