Women are, and have been for many years, actively involved as
players, supporters and co-ordinators in a range of sports and yet
they are often missing from, or sidelined in, accounts of the
history of these sports. Commenting first on the lack of inclusion
of women in British sports history, the book goes on to examine
aspects of women's participation between the late-nineteenth
century and the mid-twentieth century more broadly. It draws
together some of the latest research undertaken by international
scholars working in the field, and includes case studies about
golf, bridge, rowing, figure skating and athletics. Between them
the chapters demonstrate that women enjoyed mixed fortunes in
sport. They positively highlight the scope of participation, as
well as the complex interactions and responses that participation
generated on account of life stage, social class, ethnicity and
national identity across time and place. The incorporated
methodological and theoretical approaches invite readers to
reconsider existing sport historiography and point to new
directions for future research. This book was first published as a
special issue of Sport in History.
