Summary Crossing Boundaries is the first anthology of its kindinternational in scope, cross-cultural in context, and uniquely female in content. The collection includes poetry, short stories, prose memoirs, dramas, and journalistic works by women from over twenty countries, including celebrated contemporary authors. These voices ask the question - sometimes in a shout, sometimes in a whisper - what does sport have to do with the female experience, with my experience?
