The Girls of Summer: The U.S. Women's Soccer Team and How It Changed the World Paperback - 2001
by Jere Longman
The chief Olympics correspondent for the "New York Times" takes a compelling look at the women who won the World Cup Soccer Match in 1999. He places the victory in its athletic, cultural and historical context. Photos.
Summary
Now with a new afterword, The Girls of Summer, by the award- winning New York Times sportswriter Jere Longman, takes a serious, compelling look at the women who won the 1999 World Cup and brings to life the skills and victories of the American team. Longman explores the issues this unprecedented achievement has raised: the importance of the players as role models; the significance of race and class; the sexualization of the team members; and the differences between men and women's sports. Provocative and insightful, this book reminds us that the real struggles are off the field -- and some remain to be won.
First line
BENCHES HAVE ALWAYS seemed comically out of place on a soccer field, the scooped Plexiglas roofing resembling a bus stop, the nervous, hunched coaches smoking and checking their watches as if waiting impatiently for public transportation.
