Product Information
"Any girl who boxes challenges, wittingly or not, the idea of what it means to be a girl in our culture. Through the prism of what she does with her fists, she sheds a fiercely contrarian light on our most fundamental notions about femininity and power and appetite and shame and desire." Thus writes Leah Hager Cohen in Without Apology, her singular exploration of the world of female aggression. In the fall of 2001, Cohen met up with four girls, ages ten to fifteen, and their female coach at the Somerville Boxing Club. Over the course of a year, she grew close to them allspending time at the old-style boxing club where they trained several times a week and at their homes, schools, and neighborhood hangouts. She learned about their families, the housing projects where they lived, their explosive friendships and steadfast loyalties, and especially about the damage that had turned each of them into a fighter. Fascinated by the freedom the girls had in the ring, Cohen began training and sparring with them and their coachonly to find herself astounded by the strength and authority of her body, and by the way boxing opened up and brought clarity to her old issues about eating, anger, sexuality, and survival. Spirited and provocative, Without Apology is Cohen's account of what she discovered in the gym: about herself, about girls who box, and ultimately about the buried connections between femininity and aggression. "Aggression and desire are inseparable," writes Cohen. "For they are forbidden to girls in equal measure, and they are also in equal measure requisite for life." Without Apology is sure to influence the ways in which all womenmothers and daughters, athletes and artists, teachers and learners of every descriptionsee themselves in the world.

Reviews
Advance praise forWithout Apology: Girls, Women, and the Desire to Fight "Leave it to Leah Cohen and her rhapsodic way with words to seduce me into reading a book about boxing, of all things. But what a gorgeous, wonderfully strange and exhilarating journey is described here. Reading Without Apology let me part the jungle grasses inside myself and have a look at my own wildness, much of which I hadn't known was there. It gave me ideas. This is a knock-out of a story." Elizabeth Berg, author ofThe Year of PleasuresandOpenHouse "This is a terrific book: sharp, surprising, at times devastating, like a punch that comes out of nowhere." Ken Burns "Without Apology is larger than boxing or even tennis. It is about a girl's right to contend in the world with her entire being, no matter what arena she chooses. Leah Hager Cohen is a champion of all women with heart." Billie Jean King "This beautifully observed and elegantly written book has a lot of heart. Better than any other I've read, it describes how it feels to wander into the gym, the secret center of the boxing universe, and be seduced into training and sparring. Without straining in its reach for meaning, it lets boxing teach us about girls, women, desire, and damage through the lives and words of vividly realized characters and a sharply affecting account of the author's own conversion to the fights."
