Money Power Respect : How Women In Sports Are Shaping The Future Of Feminism

Description: An inside look at how women athletes are leading the fight for equality on and off the field Women's sports receive a fraction of the airtime allotted for men's sports as well as a fraction of the marketing dollars media coverage and training resources. For every dollar that the NB a's highest - paid player brings home the WNB a's highest - paid player earns just half a cent. But while misogyny in sports is particularly visible it's not unique. Women athletes face the same sexist barriers found in all career fields: the motherhood penalty transphobia and misogynoir underpromotion and more. But women in sports are fighting back debunking myths that women aren t as skilled competitive or capable of generating revenue as men. Drawing on exclusive interviews with prominent athletes including Allyson Felix Megan Rapinoe and Billie Jean King journalist Macaela Mackenzie shows how women are using sports as a platform for change. As women athletes push for the same things all women want in their careers money power and respect their wins are showing the rest of us what's possible in the fight for equality.
