Sports Heroines on Film: A Critical Study of Cinematic Women Athletes, Coaches and Owners
Viridiana Lieberman
This discussion of sports film heroines begins with National Velvet (1944) and ends with Secretariat (2010). By examining such portrayals this volume analyses whether these story lines do or do not empower women as characters and role models, while offering alternative cinematic choices that reflect the true and ever-growing history of women in sports.
