Histories of Women's Work in Global Sport
Histories of Women's Work in Global Sport
Sport has never been a mans world. As this volume shows, women have served key roles not only as athletes and spectators, but as administrators, workers, decision-makers, and leaders in sporting organizations around the world. Contributors excavate scarce archival material to uncover histories of womens work in sport, from swimming teachers in nineteenth-century England to national sports administrators in twentieth-century Cte dIvoire, and many places in between. Their work has been varied, holding roles as teachers, wives, and secretaries in sporting contexts around the world, often with diplomatic functionsincluding at the 1968 and 1992 Olympic Games. Finally, this collection shows how gender initiatives have developed in sporting institutions in Europe and international sport federations today. With a foreword by Grgory Quin and afterword by Anas Bohuon, this is a pioneering study into gender and womens work in global sport.
