Title: Women, sport, and culture
Description: Women, Sport, and Culture features 24 selections from various feminist positions that examine the relation between sport and gender. The articles serve as a marker of where feminist sport studies has been as a field and a guidepost for what may be the most promising theoretical directions in the future.

This comprehensive collection of articles is organized into five sections: part I introduces and provides an overview of feminist theories that have examined gender, women, and sport; part II addresses the gendered organizational order of sport and explores the practices through which women in institutionalized sport are managed; part III explores how certain practices associated with sport actively degrade women and how women have alternately appropriated and opposed what they perceive to be oppressive and unjust practices; part IV examines the role of the media in circulating and legitimizing dominant meanings of sport, women, gendered bodies, and sexuality; and part V interrogates heterosexism and homophobia in sport.
