{"product_id":"no-girls-in-the-clubhouse-marilyn-cohen-9780786440184","title":"No Girls in the Clubhouse: The Exclusion of Women from Baseball","description":"\u003cp\u003e Even though teenaged girl Jackie Mitchell once struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, women are still striking out on the hardball diamond. This book builds on recently published histories of women as amateur and professional players, umpires, sports commentators and fans to analyze the cultural and historical contexts for excluding females from America's pastime. Drawing on anthropological and feminist perspectives, the book examines the ways that constructions of women's bodies and normative social roles have pushed them toward softball instead of baseball. Sportswriter accounts, Title IX sex-discrimination suits, and interviews with players explore the obstacles and the social isolation of females who join all-male baseball teams, while also discussing policies that inhibit the practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marilyn Cohen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 078644018X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786440184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/12\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2009 pg. 107\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2009","brand":"Marilyn Cohen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993998065919,"sku":"9780786440184","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8423855d-9e8b-431b-908c-457b0fd2c013.jpg?v=1683327520","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/no-girls-in-the-clubhouse-marilyn-cohen-9780786440184","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
