<p>The book explores the historical journey of gender equality and pay disparity within the domain of women’s sports. Despite present-day achievements in diverse sports such as archery football athletics basketball and skating limited female participation has been seen largely due to the narrow focus on male military readiness in physical education. The evolution of women’s sports underscores their contemporary prominence and even dominance in certain sports compared to men. Yet persistent inequalities hinder the true equality sought in sports. Gender imbalances are evident with women often not competing on par with men. Traditional attitudes prevail in various institutions and programs hampering efforts for gender equity in the realm of sports. This book emphasises the need to address these disparities and achieve genuine parity. Encouraging an inclusive environment for all athletes regardless of gender is vital for sustaining the positive progression of women in sports. The history of women in sports serves as a reminder of the journey so far and the road ahead to ensure fairness and equal opportunities in the sporting arena. Despite various societal and institutional obstacles the journey and success of notable women players like Serena and Venus Williams Amy Alcott Sue Bird Luciana Aymar amongst others is admirable.</p>
