Reviews

'One hundred years is a long period of time in which to explain the ever changing role of the history of an institution, within the larger debates surrounding the role of women and the changing face of physical education. To look outside the walls of an institution, as well as within it, is a difficult task and Ida Webb has endeavored to accomplish this.' - The Sports Historian
