World Chess Championship for Women

From Mark Weeks, About's Guide to Chess: "It's easy to forget that there is no such thing as the Men's World Champion, because there is no rule restricting the title to men only. It's also easy to forget that the Women's World Champion is a title which has been as hotly contested as any of the Fischer - Spassky, Karpov - Korchnoi, or Kasparov - Karpov matches of recent chess history."
