Women and Sport offers insight into how women have been involved in sport, how they have struggled for widespread recognition and legitimacy, and how they continue to carve out their role in shaping sport.
Women and Sport was developed to fill the need for a primary textbook. It separates itself from other titles by providing an abundance of instructor ancillary materials that assist in class preparations. Through its engaging content, Women and Sport serves as a launching pad for discussions that shape society’s ongoing conversation about what it means to be a female athlete or a woman working in sport.
