During the last four decades women's and gender history have become
vibrant fields including studies of attitudes regarding the limited
physical and other abilities of females as well as studies of the
accomplishments of notable female athletes. We have become
increasingly aware that women have made contributions to physical
education, dance and sport that go far beyond being teachers,
athletes and coaches. They have created and implemented an
astonishing variety of programs intended to serve the needs of
large numbers of children and youth sometimes organizing student
health services, as well as chairing departments of physical
education. They have worked as directors of sport, physical
education and dance, running playgrounds and recreational
facilities and have created and/or served as important officers of
a variety of sporting organizations. This book explores the
contributions and achievements of women in a variety of historical
and geographical contexts which, not surprisingly opens
opportunities for additions, revisions and counter-narratives to
accepted histories of physical education and sport science. It
seeks to broaden our understandings about the backgrounds,
motivations and achievements of dedicated women working to improve
health and bodily practices in a variety of different arenas and
for often different purposes. This book was previously published as
a special issue of the International Journal of the History of
Sport.
