(4) 4-6 Women Who Win series. Each book in this generally adulatory series on female sports stars traces an athlete's career from childhood to the present. The texts touch on the stars' backgrounds and struggles to overcome setbacks but focus mainly on descriptions of important competitions. As a whole, the series provides some insight into what it takes to succeed in professional sports. Color action photos, statistics, and a chronology in each book will please fans. Bib., ind.
