Rich in detail and exhaustively researched, this book illuminates the struggles, obstacles, and successes of the women who fought and continue to fight in the ring and out to gain respect in a sport traditionally considered for men alone. Inside-the-ring action is brought to life through photographs, newspaper clippings, and anecdotes, as are the stories of the women who played important roles outside the ring, from spectators and judges to managers and trainers. 000716557 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000716557 650_0 $$aWomen boxers. 000716557 650_0 $$aBoxing$$xHistory. 000716557 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aSmith, Malissa.$$tHistory of women's boxing.$$dLanham, Maryland : Rowman & Littlefield, [2014]$$z9781442229945$$w(DLC) 2014001827$$w(OCoLC)870098235 000716557 8520_ $$bacq 000716557 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000716557 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 000716557 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1710077$$zOnline Access 000716557 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1710077$$zOnline Access 000716557 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:716557$$pGLOBAL_SET 000716557 980__ $$aEBOOK$$aEBOOK 000716557 980__ $$aBIB 000716557 982__ $$aEbook 000716557 983__ $$aOnline
