Now, however, with girls' and women's dramatic movement into sport, the process of exclusion has become a bit subtler, a bit more complicated-and yet, as Michael Messner shows us in this provocative book, no less effective. In Taking the Field, Messner argues that despite profound changes, the world of sport largely retains and continues its longtime conservative role in gender relations.To expSport and culture series ;v. 4.Sex discrimination in sportsUnited StatesSportsSex differencesUnited StatesFeminism and sportsUnited StatesElectronic books.Sex discrimination in sportsSportsSex differencesFeminism and sports796/.082Messner Michael A974868MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451732603321Taking the field2476112UNINA
