Women in Sports: Breaking Barriers, Facing Obstacles [2 volumes]

Author(s): Braddock, Jomills;
Contributors: Milner, Adrienne; Braddock, Jomills; Braddock, Jomills;
Abstract:

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
