Books by Joan Steidinger

This book explores three crucial areas in sport that remain huge concerns for women: leadership, money, and media. It examines topics such as the #MeToo movement, pay equity, and the experiences of women of color and LGBTQ athletes. Interviews with prominent female athletes are interwoven throughout to add personal perspectives to the conversation.

Sisterhood in Sports reveals what drives the female athlete: communication, camaraderie, competition, collaboration, and community. Steidinger illustrates through real stories that the relationships they create, even among rivals, helps to keep them driven, engaged, and connected to their game and their lives beyond the sport.
