Reviews

The reason why girls and women so often shy away from sport is the fear of inappropriate labels. Challenging these labels and getting people to think differently about gender will create a space in sport where all girls and women can feel comfortable being involved just as they are."" - Karin Lofstrom, Executive Director, Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women and Sport and Physical Activity (CAAWS)
