Anotace knihy

This book provides a detailed history of women fighters-including wrestlers, MMA competitors, and boxers-and the different issues revolving around the fighters and their sports. Records of female fighters appear from as far back as the eighteenth century, and although women still often face the same derision their predecessors faced, their fight and determination has earned them respect from much of the fighting community. With the growing number of women participating in fighting sports, new opportunities have opened up for women to compete in legitimate arenas, from the Olympics and the Golden Gloves to wrestling tournaments and the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Women are now able to compete in ways their predecessors never could, and She's a Knockout! tells the stories of these extraordinary women, including boxer Laila Ali, Olympic wrestler Randi Miller, and Mixed Martial Arts phenom Debi Purcell, all of whom found success competing in their traditionally male-dominated sports. Featuring historical and current photographs, promotional posters, and exclusive interviews with professional fighters, this book delivers an in-depth look into the struggles and triumphs of female fighters.
