This book assesses the transformation of football fan culture from
a gender perspective. Referring to the notions of homosociality,
hegemonic masculinity and performative perspectives on gender and
fandom, it investigates the processes of women entering the world
of football fandom. Drawing on multidimensional qualitative and
quantitative research, the book analyses different aspects of
female fandom, such as women's socialisation to be a fan, building
their sense of fan identity, ways of performing fandom, and gender.
Also, it explores the response of male fans by shedding light on
the sense-making process of a growing number of female fans in the
stands and its consequences for prevailingly male football culture.
This study stands out for its richness and diversity of empirical
material used in order to make a significant contribution to our
understanding of social dynamics related to the changing nature of
female football fandom. The book is fascinating reading for
researchers and students in a broad range of areas, including
gender studies, sociology of sport, football, women's studies and
Central Eastern European studies. It is also a valuable resource
for scholars, and football and club authorities who have an
interest in understanding the development of female football fandom
and its impact on the male fandom community.
