Reimagining the Gendering of Sport highlights the increasing public attention women's sport is receiving whilst examining the challenges that female athletes continue to face. The book provides a critical assessment of areas where reform is needed and presents creative reimaginings of a more equitable sporting world. Leading experts outline ongoing issues in contemporary girls' and women's sport, such as fewer opportunities and sponsorships, pay gaps, less television airtime and unequal playing conditions. Chapters are framed in critical feminist perspectives, engaging with intersectional and interdisciplinary understandings of the triumphs and challenges in women’s sport. Theory is uniquely paired with personal narratives from diverse athletes across all levels of sport to humanize their experiences. The book advocates for an end to gendered cultural expectations, illustrating how representational leadership and athlete activism can create empowering environments in girls’ and women’s sport. Scholars and students of sport studies (e.g., sport sociology, sport psychology, and sport management) will greatly benefit from this timely book, as will those studying gender and cultural studies. The book is also a vital resource for women’s sport advocates who toil to make the field more inclusive.
