What The
Media Says About Mariah's Writing
- "Nelson
writes with knees and elbows flying. One
of the most consistently provocative
voices in the field. Powerful, smart,
important, touching, and
fascinating." -- New York Times
- "Nelson
does not shy away from the hard
questions; she does not insist on
"politically correct" answers.
She doesn’t hedge." --
Philadelphia Inquirer
- "
Nelson has hit a home run. When it comes
to popular sociology of women’s
sports, nobody does it better."
-- Library Journal
- "Packed
with insights, Embracing Victory is
important reading for women who struggle
with ambition and competition." --
Ms. Magazine
- "This
is an important book because Ms. Nelson
has accomplished what all authors strive
for: to allow the reader to see a subject
in a whole new way." -- Dallas
Morning News
- "
Had Backlash author Susan Faludi been an
athlete, she might have written this
book." -- San Francisco Chronicle
- "Readable,
lively, and witty. Revolutionary. Not
only about men’s violence but also
about female love, growth, and
empowerment through sports." --
The Women’s Review of Books
- "After
reading this book, I don’t believe
you can pick up a sports section or watch
televised sports coverage without a more
critical eye." --USA Today
