Abstract:
"This paper explored the fight for gender equality in professional sports. Although women are able to compete on the same level as men in professional athletics, equal pay and representation for women continues to be a topic of discussion. Reality does not meet our expectations, and the first step to changing the outcome is by refocusing viewers eyes on women's sports to see them just as they see men's sports. Through extensive research and interviews this paper explained the hardships that women have gone through and how the media and films can be used to help boost more support for women in professional sports." --Abstract
