Real Women Run is an innovative feminist ethnography that consists
of a series of linked essays and presentations about women who run
at the intersections of queer, feminist, and running identities.
Faulkner uses feminist grounded theory, poetic inquiry, and
qualitative content analysis to examine women's embodied stories of
running: how they run, how running fits into the context of their
lives and relationships, how they enact or challenge cultural
scripts of women's activities and normative running bodies, and
what running means for their lives and identities. During a
two-and-a-half-year ethnography with women who run, Faulkner
engaged in an intersectional qualitative content analysis of
websites and blogs targeted to women runners, a grounded theory
poetic analysis of 41 interviews with women who run, and
participant observation at road races. Real Women Run speaks to the
call for a more physical feminism. This ethnography sees women's
physical and mental strength developed through running as a way to
embrace the contradictions between a deconstructed focus on the
mind/body split and the focus on individuals' actual material
bodies and their everyday interactions with their bodies and
through their bodies with the world around them.
