The most extensive treatment to date of women's experiences in team
sports, Higher Goals provides an ethnographic account of the
"Blades", a Canadian team that plays at the highest levels of
women's hockey. With a vivid depiction of life on the Blades, the
book follows the team over two seasons, tracing their journey to a
national championship. Key issues in the sociology of sport and
gender studies are explored, including the construction of
community among women athletes; the "feminine apologetic" and
pressures on athletes to conform to feminine ideals; homophobia and
the experiences of lesbian athletes; physicality and women's
experience in contact sports; the contribution of sport to
ideologies of gender; the impact of commercialization on women's
sport; and the changing relationship between women's and men's
sports.
