Judy Murray, tennis coach I turned 40 this year. I read this book switching between thinking, why am I only just finding out about this stuff that specifically related to my physical body, and feeling incredibly downhearted and disappointed that the patriarchy still massively hampers women in so many different areas; in the case of this book, women in sport. The differences that originally stopped women from taking part in exercise and competition have been overlooked and ignored completely.
