Fair Play by Katie Barnes (Paperback)

Fair Play is award-winning journalist Katie Barnes' account of how women's sports became both a pastime and a political battleground. Beginning with the impact of Title IX, which helped participation and competition grow dramatically, Barnes traces how changing ideas about gender have fueled today's debates over transgender athletes. Drawing on careful, compassionate reporting, the book explains the often misunderstood science of sex and gender and what fairness in sport really means.
