<p>A monumental undertaking, this encyclopedia covers women's sports worldwide and throughout history. In addition to 441 articles, it includes a list of contributors (with affiliations), a list of articles by subject, a statement of purpose, bibliographies after nearly all articles, appendixes about the Olympics, and a 38-page index. Articles on sports include the expected ("Tennis"), the less popular ("Broomball, "Double Dutch," "Falconry"), and those from outside the United States ("Camogie," "Korfball"). There are 130 articles on athletes ("Pat Summitt," "Kornelia Ender"), 62 articles on countries ("China"), 19 on health issues ("Osteoporosis"), and 66 on social/cultural issues ("Femininity," "Ethics"). The international perspective continues in articles on events ("African Games") and organizations. Photographs accompany most articles, and the overall appearance is attractive and easy to read. This encyclopedia's strengths lie in its unique, cross-cultural treatment of all subjects.</p>
