Publisher's Synopsis
Women in sports journalism have faced an uphill battle to succeed within the 'old boy' world of sports. The early trailblazers faced colleagues who ignored them, athletes who tried to humiliate them, fans who ridiculed them, and executives who kept them from doing their jobs - challenges many still face today. In 'Who Let Them In?' Joanne Lannin recounts the stories of the tenacious and resilient female sportscasters and writers who paved the way for those that followed.
