Description
Covering a breadth of topics surrounding the current state of women in sports, this two-volume collection taps current events, sociological and feminist theory, and recent research to contextualize women's experiences in sports within a patriarchal society and highlight areas for improvement.
• Includes contributions from a wide variety of athletes and scholars from around the world and comprises content edited by two editors of different sexes and races
• Challenges conventional wisdom surrounding women's place and treatment in sport as female athletes continue to break sex barriers and shatter previous expectations regarding their ability to compete against men
• Relates topics of sexism, gender expectations, and discrimination to key issues within the larger social structure
