Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I myself am a female boxer. It not only taught me things my trainer never did but also helped keep me going everytime a guy at the gym laughed at me or did something like tell me to get out of the ring when sparring. Very few people can make it in the sport of boxing especially women and I was so relieved to find out I'm not the only girl out there going through or who went through the pain, thrill, excitement, and struggle into the male dominated world of boxing.

The Boxer's Heart is a brilliantly candid memoir and the first-ever guide to the world of women's boxing. Written by Food and Wine editor Kate Sekules, it tells the story of how an average athlete converted her visceral dislike of violence into a short but eventful career as a professional boxer makes irresistible reading for both fans and foes of what used to be "The Manly Art." Sekules's account unfolds with the pace and depth of a great novel, crammed with larger-than-life characters and piercing observations. Any woman who has grappled with anger and trust, been nagged by insecurity at the gym, or wondered what it feels like to throw a punch will identify with this witty and honest account of the "sweet science of bruising." "It's a knockout, folks..... The Boxer's Heart is a winner, on all cards."—Newsweek " Sekules ... is appealingly self-aware ... [and] gives us a sense of women's boxing as a thriving movement."—New York Times Book Review "Floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee."—Kirkus Reviews
