Within this collection, the complex and often fragmented nature of women’s involvement across a range of sports are critically discussed. Contributions span the fields of sport sociology, sport history, sport economics and beyond, and across the varying geographical contexts of North America, Europe, Australia and South Africa. Examining American football, basketball, cricket, cycling, golf, ice hockey, tennis, rugby union and rugby league, scholars consider the emergence of professionalisation, the role of the media, and experiences in and of women’s (semi-)professional sport.
The Professionalisation of Women’s Sport is an essential reference point for any student, researcher or professional interested in, or working in, elite women’s sport settings.
