Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:On playing fields and street corners, in backyards and gyms, the people in this arresting array of pictures are unselfconsciously exploring the physical and emotional pleasures of competition and play. Each image offers an affirming and satisfying answer to the question at the heart of Game Face: What do girls and women look like when freed from traditional feminine constraints, using their bodies in joyful and empowering ways? To show America what women’s sports looks like, Jane Gottesman searched through the work of our country’s best photographers, from the newest photojournalists to artists such as Annie Leibovitz and Ansel Adams. The result is a unique and inspiring document of the tremendous impact that the growth of female sports at all levels is having on society—and on women themselves. Review:“A marvelous collection, in photographs and words, of women athletes.”The Philadelphia Inquirer Review:“[Game Face] is designed to broaden, deepen and perhaps even transform long-standing perceptions of the female as athlete.”The Washington Post Review:“Years before it even occurred to me that there might be different standards in the way we cover male and female athletes, Jane Gottesman was on the case.”The New York Times Review:“Explodes the perception of sports as a male bastion.”Time Out New York Review:“This book is terrific. . . . I am giving it to my granddaughter . . . and I hope it will inspire her to be whatever she wants to be.”Philadelphia Daily News Review:“We see women large and small, slim, powerful, straining, graceful, awkward, in their prime and well past it. What we do not see is cheesecake.”The Denver Post Synopsis:- A San Francisco Chronicle bestseller Synopsis:Combines more than 175 photographs with personal stories, chronicling the dynamic growth of female sports and the impact of athletics on a woman's sense of self and her role in society.
