Award-winning journalist Katie Barnes traces the evolution of women's sports as a pastime and a political arena, where equality and fairness have been fought over for generations. As attitudes toward gender have shifted to embrace more fluidity in recent decades, sex continues to be viewed as a static binary that is easily determined: male or female. Now that foundation is crumbling as a result of intense culture wars. Barnes looks at all sides of the issue and presents a reasoned and much-needed solution that seeks to preserve opportunities for all going forward.
