Críticas:
"The American writer and pugilist Leah Hager Cohen challenges stereotypical views in her remarkable part-memoir, part-essay Without Apology. For Cohen - and at least some of the female boxers she met on her journey into this seemingly most testosterone filled of worlds - boxing is the key to understanding one's own womanhood." (THE TIMES )
"Cohen is such a good writer that even confirmed anti-boxing campaigners will be hooked by her skilled observations.... The book is full of moments of tender power... With this meticulously researched and stylishly written book, Cohen has done women's boxing and women in general a great service." (THE IRISH TIMES )
"the compelling story of the tough young women whose determination to make their fighting legitimate makes every punch count." (MELISSA KATSOULIS SUNDAY TELEGRAPH )

'Any girl who boxes,' writes Leah Hager Cohen, 'challenges, wittingly or not, the idea of what it means to be a girl in our culture. Through the prism of what she does with her fists, she brings a fiercely contrarian light to our most fundamental notions about femininity and power and appetite and shame and desire.' Originally intending simply to research the subject, Leah met four adolescent girls from a Boston housing project who were training under a female coach at the Somerville Boxing Club. In the course of a year, she grew close to them, learning about their families, where they grew up, their explosive friendships and experience of each other as 'intimate adversaries', and especially the damage that had turned each of them into a fighter. Drawn into the ring herself, Leah sparred with the girls and was astounded by the strength and authority of her body. 'I was beginning to get a feel for my own reach.' Spirited and provocative, Without Apology is Leah Cohen's account of what she discovered in that gym about herself, about girls who box, and ultimately about the buried connections between femininity and aggression.
