Seconds Out

Description

Dismay over how unequally women's sports are treated has been widespread. Boxing and other martial arts haven't really entered the conversation, but this book shows why they should.

Despite all the other strides feminism has made, we've not really been able to contend with female violence: women's martial arts are regarded warily. Dean considers why this is.

The interest in wrestler Ronda Rousey suggests that it might be time for things to change.

Strong reception to the popular Netflix series GLOW suggests audience appeal.

From A. J. Liebling to Joyce Carol Oates, writers have been fascinated by boxing, but never from the perspective of woman boxers.

She trains in both Vancouver and San Diego.
