Preface -- Acknowledgments -- What's the problem -- The sex difference question -- Title IX : old norms in new forms -- Sex-segregated sports on trial -- Inventing barriers -- Breaking barriers -- Pass the ball -- Notes -- Index.;Athletic contests help define what we mean in America by "success." By keeping women from "playing with the boys" on the false assumption that they are inherently inferior, society relegates them to second-class status. In this book, the authors show in vivid detail how women have been unfairly excluded from participating in sports on an equal footing with men.
