Letter: In Brief

Sir: Your separate sports section every Monday prompts me to write. Why are the sports pages dominated by men? Where are all the sportswomen? I scan the photos on the sports pages every day and 99 per cent of the time it is men who are featured.

A recent article highlighted the fact that girls give up sport very quickly at school ("Sport for girls `not feminine enough' ", 18 March); is it any wonder? If women were given equal space on the sports pages this would create role models and make the active woman the norm.
