Crossing Boundaries - An International Anthology of Women's Experiences in Sport
Crossing Boundaries: An Anthology of Women’s Experiences in Sport will help you discover, understand, and appreciate the depth and complexity of the female experience in sport. This is a journey to the center of feminine identity, a survey of past and present voices that lead you into the minds, hearts, and souls of women in sport. The largest literary compilation of writings on and by women in sports, Crossing Boundaries serves as a chronology of attitudes and a catalog of experiences. International in scope, some of these pieces have been translated into English for the first time, thus expanding the sports canon. The book goes on to examine themes which have long been included in women’s writings yet have been long overlooked by both feminists and literary critics. These themes include:
- the significance and centrality of the body;
- the impact of exclusion and the female reaction to it;
- the role of the female spectator as an outsider;
- the female identification, connection, and ultimate merger with nature;
- the connections women make with others in and through sport;
- the athlete’s identity; and
- the metaphorical uses of sport.
