Co-authored by three lawyers/law students, namely KARMANYE THADANI, DEVADITYA CHAKRAVARTI and SHWETA SHARMA, and with a foreword by eminent Indian sports law luminary JUSTICE MUKUL MUDGAL, this is a short and inexpensive (NOT EXPENSIVE) book dealing with gender discrimination in the field of sport and the challenges female sportspersons have to and historically have had to face, also mentioning public policy solutions from a socio-legal point of view. For those not interested in legal dimensions, the preface mentions the chapters such people can skip, and the book would certainly make an interesting read for such people too. While the book focuses on India, it takes a much larger global worldview in terms of examples and would be of interest to readers across the globe.
