Sidelined
In a society that is digging deep into the misogyny underlying our traditions and media, the world of sports is especially fertile ground. From casual sexism, like the proliferation overpriced pink baseball caps, to more serious issues, like athletes who abuse their partners and face only minimal consequences, this area of our culture is home to a vast swath of gender issues that apply to all of us. Now, through candid interviews, personal anecdotes, and a no-nonsense call-to-arms, she's tackling these thorny issues and exploring what America can do to give women a fair and competitive playing field in sports and beyond. Covering everything from abusive online fandom at Barstool Sports to sexist treatment of Serena Williams and professional women's teams fighting for equal pay and treatment, and looking back at pioneering women who took on patriarchy in sports media, Sidelined will illuminate the ways sports presents a microcosm of life as a woman in America—and the power in fighting back.
