Jennifer Hargreaves

Heroines of Sport

The Politics of Difference and Identity

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In this unique account, Jennifer Hargreaves illustrates the ways in which the participation of women in sport across the world is tied to their sense of difference and identity. The book focuses on five groups of women whose stories have been excluded from previous accounts of women's sports and female heroism: South African women, Muslim women from the Middle East; Aboriginal women from Australia and Canada; and lesbian women and disabled women world-wide.
