Often dressed in no more than a towel, author Leslie Goldman spent five years talking with women of all ages, shapes, and sizes about what goes into “shaping” not just their bodies but their body image. From compulsive workouts to daily dates with the scale to body fat measurements, American women are swept up in a constant quest for perfection. But the loudest voices here are those of the senior women who speak candidly of their long road to self-acceptance. Funny, smart, and confiding, Locker Room Diaries is a wake-up call for any woman who has ever wished her body were something other than it is; this book “reminds you that the ‘perfect' body is your body.” (Wendy Shanker).

Female athletes are too often perceived as interlopers in the historically male-dominated world of sports. Obstacles specific to women are of particular focus in A Locker Room of Her Own. Race, sexual orientation, and the similar qualities ancillary to gender bear special exploration in how they impact an athlete's story. Central to this volume is the contention that women in their role as inherent outsiders are placed in a unique position even more complicated than the usual experiences of inequality and discord associated with race and sports. The contributors explore and critique the notion that in order to be considered among the pantheon of athletic heroes one cannot deviate from the traditional demographic profile, that of the white male. These essays look specifically and critically at the nature of gender and sexuality within the contested nexus of race, reputation, and sport. The collection explores the reputations of iconic and pioneering sports figures and the cultural and social forces that helped to forge their unique and often problematic legacies. Women athletes discussed in this volume include Babe Didrikson Zaharias, the women of the AAGPBL, Billie Jean King, Venus and Serena Williams, Marion Jones, Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova, Sheryl Swoopes, Florence Griffith Joyner, Roberta Gibb and Kathrine Switzer, and Danica Patrick.

Who do you think you are, coming in here? No one wants you here! These words were screamed by Dave Tiger Williams as he stood inches from cub reporter Cynthia Lambert. It was one of the first things said by a professional athlete to the twenty-two-year-old college student as she entered the Detroit Red Wings locker room at Joe Louis Arena after the team suffered a tough loss. Shaken by the verbal assault, Cynthia had to make a decision on the spotand in front of the watchful eyes of other players and media members. Did she have it in her to weather the prejudicial storms that likely lay ahead, or should she turn tail and run? She didnt run. Instead, she stood her ground and blazed an enviable career path after landing the job of a lifetimecovering the NHLs Detroit Red Wings as the beat writer for The Detroit News. This is the autobiographical story of Cynthia Lamberts fourteen-year career in the locker room, in the press box, and all points in between, calling out pitfalls and her all-too-numerous embarrassing pratfalls. Cynthias self-deprecating style engages you from the first page as you learn about the business of sports reporting and about the world-class athletes she covered. Get ready to feel what it is like to work inside a locker room . . . from this womans perspective.

Every week, hundreds of women sportswriters enter male sports locker rooms without incident as they gather post-game quotes from players and coaches. Locker room interactions comprise less than 10 per cent of most women sportswriters' jobs yet they have profoundly impacted women writers' lives. Based on in-depth interviews with 27 female sportswriters and a close reading of more than 100 newspaper and magazine articles, this study explores how locker room interactions have affected women sportswriters since the late 1960s. Using Norman Denzin's (1989) interpretive interactionist approach, I attempted to understand women sportswriters' worlds from within--through their eyes, using their language and frameworks for understanding. My analysis revealed that women sportswriters' lives are far more dynamic and diverse than is apparent from media representations. Changes in women sportswriters' understandings of the locker room and their experiences within it have been marked by ruptures: public moments that have catapulted writers into new ways of seeing. Three key moments mark shifts in understanding from seeing the locker room first as inaccessible, then as a male space in which athletes' definitions dominate, and recently as a public space in which women writers' and athletes' definitions hold equal weight. The first rupture was Sports Illustrated writer Melissa Ludtke's successful 1978 lawsuit which forced the New York Yankees to provide her with equal access to athletes. The second involved the 1990 media "feeding frenzy" over the locker room harassment of Boston Herald reporter Lisa Olson by naked New England Patriots players, and the third was a result of the 1991 public debate around Anita Hill's testimony against Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas. Women sportswriters draw upon a variety of resources to categorize their interactions with male sports personnel, such as cultural context, personal knowledge of the individuals involved, past experience, and the specific characteristics of the encounter, as well as their understandings of the space of the locker room. Behaviors that objectively appear similar, such as players undressing in front of a woman sportswriter, have been categorized by women in each of the four major categories which emerged from my analysis (supportive, professional, teasing/testing or hostile). Hostile interactions cause the most emotional trauma and constitute the majority of stories women tell about the locker room. In hostile interactions, gender relations are revealed in particularly powerful ways, as males reject female sportswriters' professional selves and choose to attack them based solely on gender. Hostile interactions cause epiphanic, or turning point, moments in writers' lives, and may lead to gradual or abrupt changes in careers. Despite their ongoing discomfort, however, women writers support the dominant sports journalism belief that locker room access is vital to good reporting. Finally, my analysis revealed a huge contrast in women sportswriters' understandings of themselves and those of the public and male sports personnel. Many men appear to believe women writers are sexually aroused by locker room interactions and driven by sexual desires for male athletes. Women writers universally reject this interpretation and many appear mystified at how males could imagine a locker room as sexually appealing.
