Assessing the enormous changes that have reshaped the sports landscape since the 1970s, it reminds us that the playing field is still far from level and challenges us to make the ongoing quest for gender equity in sport part of the larger struggle for social change.\"\u003cbr\u003e --Susan Ware, author of \u003cu\u003eGame, Set, Match: Billie Jean King and the Revolution in Women's Sports\u003c\/u\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAcclaimed since its original publication, \u003cu\u003eComing on Strong\u003c\/u\u003e has become a much-cited touchstone in scholarship on women and sports.
