Women in the Olympics traces the history of women in the Olympic Games. This pocket book offer details about important milestones in Olympic history and illustrates the salient themes that have shaped women's involvement in the Games. From ancient times to today, women have always had a tenuous position in the Olympics. Women eventually gained access to the Games; however, they remained beset by roadblocks.

Women in the Olympics shows how women have continuously fought for increased opportunities as athletes, equal access to elite sports, and a place in the decision-making process--
