  Girljock: 
        The Book 
  Edited By Roxxie
 
 
 
 
       Who Are These Girljocks 
        and where did they come from?
 Long before corporate America discovered women's sports as a potential 
        marketing tool, before ESPN actually started covering the occasional women's 
        event, Girljock was there -- inciting and feeding the frenzy 
        that has become the nation's hottest trend. As the first publication devoted 
        to exploring the mystique of women and sports, Girljock, 
        the magazine, quickly made a name for itself across the country.
 Now, Roxxie and her 
        team of contributors have amassed the definitive book with pieces ranging 
        from rock climbing to softball, including cartoons and advice on the proper 
        etiquette required to land your very own girljock-of-your-dreams. Girljock: 
        The Book will show you the joy to be had when sports meets humor 
        meets libido. After all, what fun is standing on the sidelines when enlightenment 
        is a quick read away?
 
 Editor, Roxxie, is the founder and chief editor 
        of Girljock Magazine. Although throughout her life she has 
        been found on many of the playing fields of our sporting nation, she readily 
        admits that in writing she has hit her stride. She still polishes her 
        cardiovascular routines though. Roxxie was also co-editor of Dagger: 
        On Butch Women (Cleis Press) along with Lily Burana and Linnea 
        Due. She lives in San Francisco. Visit the Girljock Web 
        site or drop Roxxie a note.
