“Money, Power, Respect shines a light on what women in sports have been doing for decades: refusing to accept the status quo. In showing how our fight is about an equal playing field for all, Macaela MacKenzie nails it—a must-read for anyone who cares about women’s equality.” —Allyson Felix, seven-time Olympic gold medalist in track and field, maternal health advocate and entrepreneur
“Money, Power, Respect is a must-read. The book weaves a beautiful narrative arc explaining why women's sports and female athletes have been historically left out of the party and gives a path forward to reclaiming power in a place women deserve to be recognized and celebrated.”—Eve Rodsky, New York Times bestselling author of Fair Play
“From the opening paragraphs of Money, Power, Respect, I had chills. MacKenzie masterfully captures the power, strength and vision that defines women athletes who have been pushing for true equity in sports. She reminds us that sport has the power to transform us — individually and collectively — and that women have, and will always be, at the front of that transformation.”
—Anne Lieberman, Director of Policy & Programs, Athlete Ally
“Money, Power, Respect is about so much more than sports: the deeper issues here affect everybody. MacKenzie's book vividly shows the wins, the losses, and the constant struggles that female athletes have to go through in order to achieve equity. A refreshing and eye-opening read for anyone who considers themselves a feminist.”
—Minda Harts, author of Right Within
