520 8 |a A courtside view of how women athletes' identities are policed, on and off the court Women's college basketball is big business-top teams bring in millions of dollars in revenue for their schools. Women's NCAA games are broadcast regularly on sports networks, and many of the top players and coaches are household names. Yet these athletes face immense pressure to be more than successful at their sport. They must also conform to expectations about gender, sexuality, and race-expectations that are often in direct contrast to success in the game. A former college athlete herself, Michelle J. Manno spent a full season with a highly competitive NCAA Division I women's basketball programme as one of the team's managers. In vivid detail, she takes us on the court, on the team bus, into the locker room, and to championship games to show the intense dedication that these women give to the game.
