- catalog abstract ""Heroines of Sport looks closely at different groups of women whose stories have been excluded from previous accounts of women's sports and female heroism. It focuses on five specific groups of women from different places in the world - South African women; Muslim women from the Middle East; Aboriginal women from Australia and Canada; and lesbian and disabled women from different countries worldwide. It also asks searching questions about colonialism and new-colonialism in the women's international sport movement." "The particular groups of women featured in the book reflect the need to look at specific categories of difference - relating to class, culture, disability, ethnicity, 'race', religion and sexual orientation. Hargreaves reveals how the participation of women in sport across the world is tied to their sense of difference and identity. Each chapter includes material that relates to significant political and cultural developments." "Heroines of Sport will be valuable reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of sport sociology, and will also be relevant for students working in women's studies and other specialized fields, such as development studies or the politics of Aboriginality, disability, Islam, race, and sexuality."--BOOK JACKET.".
