Episode 21 - Maria Toorpakai and Sarah Shephard

March 17, 2016

Two more great books to talk about in this episode focussing on women in sport. First we hear from MARIA TOORPAKAI who grew up in a violent tribal region of Pakistan and found herself targeted by the Taliban because she was a girl who wanted to play sport. Her story is in A DIFFERENT KIND OF DAUGHTER. Then we hear from SARAH SHEPHARD who has written a comprehensive book KICKING OFF on how women are changing sport from the playing fields to the boardroom to the TV studios.
