Stories of remarkable women who devoted their lives to the cause of
women's physical liberation are told in this volume. They each
shared the same ambition: to free women's bodies through sport.
Scholars have studied the paradoxical importance of sport in both
reinforcing the male-dominated status quo and emancipating women
from traditional repression in both Western and Eastern worlds, but
the role that individuals played in achieving the political and
economic freedom of women through sport has been neglected. This
collection records the bravery of these forgotten inspirational
figures whose determination challenged and overcame convention,
custom and prejudice to free women from the ranks of the
sexualized, controlled and oppressed.
