Marking the 50th anniversary of Title IX, this is an inspiring celebration of 100 women who are still paving the way for future generations of female athletes.

From Janet Guthrie to Megan Rapinoe, and Billie Jean King to Aly Raisman, this is the ideal gift book for anyone involved with girls in athletics, whether as an athlete or coach, parent, daughter, sister, niece, or granddaughter.

Strong Like a Woman Reviews

While there is still work to be done in the women's sports landscape, more opportunities for female athletes exist than ever. Published in conjunction with SI, Strong Like a Woman profiles 100 pioneers-some familiar (Serena Williams), some less so (mountain climber Kirstie Ennis). With the 50th anniversary of Title IX upcoming, the book fittingly honors the giants on whose shoulders today's women's sports stars stand. -SPORTS ILLUSTRATED
