Strong Women, Deep Closets: Lesbians and Homophobia in Sport

Griffin draws on her experience as a lesbian coach and athlete for this work intended to "challenge the despised sexual predator image" that so often stalks when women and sport come together. She also draws on 15 years of leading various workshops on homophobia in the world of sport, on previously published writings, and, perhaps most important, on interviews with lesbian athletes, coaches and sports administrators that she conducted specifically for this book.
