From the Archives: Interview with Holly Maitland-McKenna: “I Take My Time and Enjoy the Adventure”

Holly Maitland-McKenna paused at the shallow end of the Penn State Harrisburg pool to speak with one of her many visitors. She wore a rash guard over a swim suit and her chlorinated, goggle-marked eyes looked tired. At that point, she had been swimming for almost 19 hours straight, since 8 p.m. the night before.

The Power of Sportswomen & Storytelling

Sportswomen’s stories rarely appear in popular culture and the media, and those that do exist often portray women using sexist language and images. This means that when athletes turn to stories of sportswomen for inspiration and guidance, they are left with stories riddled with sexism, if they can find them at all. But if athletes share their sports experiences in their own words and are encouraged to do so free of sexist language and images, sportswomen can create a new understanding and meaning of women in sports for themselves and other athletes. Sports Stories Press aims to provide women with a safe and supportive environment in which to tell their stories, and I encourage all of you to share!

Competitive Sportswomen Book List

There are a growing number of memoirs from professional and elite sportswomen, a growing number of sports fiction books for a Young Adult audience, and even an uptick of women's sports history books. But one of the main reasons I wanted to create Sports Stories Press is because there's a lack of fiction with sportswomen protagonists written for an adult audience and a lack of memoirs about amateur sportswomen. Sport Stories Press seeks to rectify this gap.
