Equality for women in the workplace is making some progress. But there’s one field—professional sports—that seems bizarrely untouched by any strides toward equality for women. Julie DiCaro, who’s been a sports reporter for more than a decade, writes about it in her fascinating book SIDELINED: SPORTS, CULTURE, AND BEING A WOMAN IN AMERICA. We will also hear about four new wonderful historical novels you may want to check out.
