Using a holistic, social scientific approach, and emphasizing the rhetoric of sport mediatization, Female Olympians reviews the literature relative to sexism, racism, and ageism before providing historical, political, economic, and socio-cultural perspectives  such as the gendered language of Olympic reportage, religious considerations, women’s bodies relative to their training for the Games, drugs and doping, and female Paralympians. With numerous critical case studies, never-before assembled data, and personal interviews with athletes, this volume offers insights that both investigate and celebrate female Olympians’ successes.EPUBCommunicationSociologyFeminist theorySportsSports—Sociological aspectsSocial structureEqualityMedia and Communicationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/412010Gender Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35000Feminismhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E44030Popular Science in Sportshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q38000Sociology of Sport and Leisurehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22220Social Structure, Social Inequalityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22010Communication.Sociology.Feminist theory.Sports.Sports—Sociological aspects.Social structure.Equality.Media and Communication.Gender Studies.Feminism.Popular Science in Sports.Sociology of Sport and Leisure.Social Structure, Social Inequality.302.23Fuller Linda Kauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut918831BOOK9910154816103321Female Olympians2531520UNINA
