This book examines the most prolific international women's football
tournament-the FIFA Women's World Cup-through media, fandom and how
mediated women's soccer can improve on a global scale. Women's
soccer has exploded in terms of media exposure, television
audiences and live spectatorship. This book explores those
macro-level issues, while also digging into micro-level topics such
as Megan Rapinoe's celebrations and political activism, VAR
reviews, LGBTQ imagery, and cultural obstacles for women's football
in Central-Eastern Europe and Nigeria. Using an interdisciplinary
approach, scholars look at issues through the lenses of feminist
theory, cultural studies, rhetorical criticism, political economy,
performative sport fandom, autoethnography, and more. Thus, the
book is important reading for students, researchers and media
practitioners with interests in women's soccer, gender in sports
media, coverage of women's sport, and sport fandom.
