This very provocative book explores issues that are normally ignored in harness racing. While far more women hold prominent positions in harness racing today, success for women in the sulky has remained out of reach. It is ironic and unfortunate that in the years of harness racing s greatest popularity, women were still confined to mostly domestic responsibilities.--Dean A. Hoffman, University of Arizona
