Contesting the Center: Just Do What?; Notes; References; IndexIn the past, when sport simply excluded girls, the equation of males with active athletic power and of females with weakness and passivity seemed to come easily, almost naturally. 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.Sport and culture series ;4.Sex discrimination in sportsUnited StatesSportsSex differencesUnited StatesFeminism and sportsUnited StatesSex discrimination in sportsSportsSex differencesFeminism and sports796/.082Messner Michael A1519670MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784101903321Taking the field3775913UNINA
