Alexandra Allred’s When Women Stood: The Untold History of Females Who Changed Sports and the World (Rowman & Littlefield) is a chronicle of the sports women who refused to accept the status quo and fought for something better for themselves and for those who would follow. Katie Taylor has red Allred’s book on our behalf, and while her review points out that the scholarly study of the history of women's sports is by no means lacking, she also notes the obvious benefit of Allred’s effort of being readable also for the general public.
