APP Lecture: Women Overcome Sexism and Racism to Play Sports

orange-grad-sep

For decades, women have had doors closed on them in pursuing sports as an occupation. Men didn’t want them playing sports, because they claimed playing sports was “unladylike,” and women’s bodies were not “equipped” to handle athletic competition. Yet some women continued to pursue sports and struggled to succeed. Women’s sports have grown in popularity and there are recognizable names  today, but there is still a long way to go.
