Recensioner i media
“This volume presents a unique set of refreshing and comprehensive issues when studying postfeminism, sporting femininities and physical activity. New Sporting Femininities encourages more in-depth analysis of the cultural, political, social and economic conditions influencing the postfeminist era. It offers fresh perspectives and new interventions to help build a more equal and level playing field in the world of sports for everyone, regardless of their gender, race, religion, ethnicity, health status, sexuality or nationality.” (Meltem Ince-Yenilmez, LSE Review of Books, June 28,2020)
