The Stronger Women Get, The More Men Love Football
Sexism and the American Culture of Sports
© Mariah Burton Nelson

The updated edition of this trailblazing book is, like the original, filled with startling statistics, shocking stories, and thought-provoking commentary about men, women, sports, sex, and power.

Astute, provocative, and full of original research, The Stronger Women Get, The More Men Love Football describes women's growing economic, political, and athletic strength and explains why some (not all) men take refuge in the ultra-masculine world of football, one of the few places where "men are still brutes and women are still cheerleaders.
