A collection of news and articles on Muslim women and sports around the world. I decided to create the blog after I started doing research on the subject and recognized the lacuna of a resource of collected materials on the subject.

LOST in the hype surrounding Anthony Mundine's loss toGarth Wood was the first appearance on a Mundine undercard of a female boxer. Susie 'Q' Ramadan did her stuff against New Zealand's Michelle Preston - and being a female in her sport isn't the only obstacle she faces. ''I'm also a Muslim,'' Ramadan said. ''It's hard enough being a female in boxing. A lot of Muslims believe their women should be at home doing the cooking and cleaning and looking after the kids. Well, I'm hoping that I can change that stereotype and be a role model for women and Muslim women around the world.'' Naturally she is a big Mundine fan. Ramadan added another scalp to her impressive tally on Wednesday. ''I won every round and the last three rounds were polished. I'm now 19-0; eight by KO. I'm now looking forward to my next one in February, which looks likely to be the IBF title.''Source: http://www.smh.com.au/sport/inglis-seeks-powwow-with-gallop-20101211-18tnd.html
