 | | The three-volume International Encyclopedia of Women and Sports, published in January 2001 from Berkshire and Macmillan, is the largest and most comprehensive work about women's sports ever published. |
 | | In three volumes, the work provides unique international and historical coverage of women's sports from earliest recorded times to the dawn of the twenty-first century, as well as the geographical and cultural context necessary for a thorough understanding of this burgeoning topic. |
 | | In 430 A-Z articles, leading scholars and specialists cover numerous sports and sports figures, as well as health issues such as eating disorders, nutrition and bone density, and social issues such as body image, gender equity and Title IX legislation (which mandates equity in school funding for women's sports programs). |
