Obstacles specific to women are of particular focus in this book. Race, sexual orientation, and the similar qualities ancillary to gender require special exploration of the way they impact an athlete's story. Central to the book is the contention that women in their role as inherent outsiders are placed in a unique position even more complicated than the usual experiences of inequality and discord associated with race and sports. 606 $aLesbian athletes$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aPublic opinion$zUnited States 606 $aWomen athletes$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aWomen athletes$zUnited States$xPublic opinion 606 $aWomen athletes$zUnited States$xSexual behavior 615 0$aLesbian athletes 615 0$aPublic opinion 615 0$aWomen athletes 615 0$aWomen athletes$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aWomen athletes$xSexual behavior. 676 $a796.0922 676 $aB 701 $aOgden$b David C$01683561 701 $aRosen$b Joel Nathan$f1961-$01683560 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810019003321 996 $aA Locker Room of Her Own$94054392 997 $aUNINA
