"'An enthralling read about the trajectory of women's sport in modern society. The story told by Chloe shows how she is as accomplished on the field(s) as she is passionate about the continuous push to progress female athletes in Australian sport.'Ellyse Perry 'An incredibly important insight into the history and current reality for women playing sport-a must-read.' Laura Henshaw 'Gripping, groundbreaking and essential reading. You'll want to read this with a highlighter handy, I had so many ""a-ha"" moments while reading this. For too long female sport has been undervalued and under-resourced. But the tide is turning, and the message this book presents is clear: ignore us at your own peril.' Cate Campbell 'Girls Don't Play Sport is an achievement by Chloe Dalton that is incredibly captivating, empowering and relatable. Her passion and ability to bring the stories of female athletes to life make this book a must-read. It is a testament to the strength and determination of women who have defied societal expectations and left an indelible mark on the world of sports.' Ellie Cole 'A brilliant argument in favour of the case for women's sport.' Liz Ellis 'Chloe's tireless commitment to sharing female athletes' unique stories and struggles is inspiring.' Tayla Harris"
