520 |a "In the fall of 2001, Leah Cohen met up with four girls, ages ten to fifteen, and their female coach at the Somerville Boxing Club outside Boston. Over the course of a year, she grew close to them all - spending 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 coach - only 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." "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."--Publisher description.
