This book examines women's participation in the Olympic Games since
they were allowed to be included in that global arena. Using a
holistic, social scientific approach, and emphasizing the rhetoric
of sport mediatization, Female Olympians reviews the literature
relative to sexism, racism, and ageism before providing historical,
political, economic, and socio-cultural perspectives such as the
gendered language of Olympic reportage, religious considerations,
women's bodies relative to their training for the Games, drugs and
doping, and female Paralympians. With numerous critical case
studies, never-before assembled data, and personal interviews with
athletes, this volume offers insights that both investigate and
celebrate female Olympians' successes.
