title: Female Gladiators: Gender, Law, and Contact Sport in America (Sport and Society)
author:  Sarah K. Fields 
description: "Professor Fields makes a fresh and excellent contribution to the literature by suggesting that the intensity of opposition to female football and baseball players was not simply--as is conventional wisdom--a somewhat quaint paternalistic protection of the 'weaker sex, ' but rather due to the role of these major sports in promoting the American construct of masculinity and the desire to save these sports as a male 'preserve' as gender roles are deconstructed."
