{"product_id":"women-in-sports-history","title":"Women in Sports History","description":"\u003cp\u003eWomen are, and have been for many years, actively involved as players, supporters and co-ordinators in a range of sports and yet they are often missing from, or sidelined in, accounts of the history of these sports.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCommenting first on the lack of inclusion of women in British sports history, the book goes on to examine aspects of women’s participation between the late-nineteenth century and the mid-twentieth century more broadly. It draws together some of the latest research undertaken by international scholars working in the field, and includes case studies about golf, bridge, rowing, figure skating and athletics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBetween them the chapters demonstrate that women enjoyed mixed fortunes in sport. They positively highlight the scope of participation, as well as the complex interactions and responses that participation generated on account of life stage, social class, ethnicity and national identity across time and place. The incorporated methodological and theoretical approaches invite readers to reconsider existing sport historiography and point to new directions for future research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was first published as a special issue of \u003cem\u003eSport in History\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54234147914072,"sku":"9780415619073","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415619073_1c480b78-80c0-488f-8ca7-e569ee442bef.jpg?v=1769685334","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/women-in-sports-history","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
