5.0 out of 5 stars Women and Sports, February 24, 2008
By TT (Miller Place, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This is an excellent compiliation of some of the best ground breaking research and writings on women in sport. It is helpful to read the discourses on women's bodies which helps us to trace the source of culturally biased scientific research agendas on athletes and on women specifically. Juxtaposed with other more familiar writings on these topics, the text becomes an all important marker for the next generation of sport and gender scholars.
