It's time to put women's sport in the picture for all of our sakes

An article by Linda Voltz - Lynda is a Labor member of the NSW Legislative Council.

Since the suffragettes, women have made significant progress to an equal partnership in society. We are no longer relegated to the kitchen as second-class citizens. To paraphrase Mao Zedong, women are holding up half the sky.

Unless, that is, you are watching the sports news on television or reading the sports pages of any major newspaper. Save for a story about a tennis star here, or a track athlete there, one could be forgiven for thinking that half the population doesn't exist.
