This well-preserved copy of “Health Care and the Female Athlete” by Marjorie J. Albohm is a pioneering work in the field of sports medicine for women. Published in 1981, it was one of the earliest comprehensive books addressing the unique health concerns and physiological needs of female athletes. At a time when women’s sports were still emerging from the shadows, Albohm’s groundbreaking research shed light on the importance of tailoring training, nutrition, and medical care to the specific requirements of the female body. With a wealth of insights drawn from her clinical experience, Albohm tackled topics like menstrual irregularities, bone density, and the prevention of injuries common among female athletes. This volume is a testament to the growing recognition of women’s sports in the post-Title IX era and serves as a valuable resource for those interested in the history of gender equity in athletics and sports medicine.
