Description

About the Author Georgia Cervin is an honorary research fellow at the University of Western Australia. Drawing on her experience as an international gymnast, her research has focused on women’s artistic gymnastics in terms of international politics, gender, governance, coaching and athlete rights.Claire Nicolas is finishing her PhD at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland. Her research focuses on the connections between sports, gender and nationalism in West Africa. Product Description Sport has never been a man’s world. As this volume shows, women have served key roles not only as athletes and spectators, but as administrators, workers, decision-makers, and leaders in sporting organizations around the world. Contributors excavate scarce archival material to uncover histories of women’s work in sport, from swimming teachers in nineteenth-century England to national sports administrators in twentieth-century Côte d’Ivoire, and many places in between. Their work has been varied, holding roles as teachers, wives, and secretaries in sporting contexts around the world, often with diplomatic functions―including at the 1968 and 1992 Olympic Games. Finally, this collection shows how gender initiatives have developed in sporting institutions in Europe and international sport federations today. With a foreword by Grégory Quin and afterword by Anaïs Bohuon, this is a pioneering study into gender and women’s work in global sport. From the Back Cover Sport has never been a man’s world.
