  • Notes

    • "Sport in Canada has been and is still experienced differently by girls and boys, women and men, and gays and straights. Sport and Gender in Canada’s main thesis is that gender is a central way of stratifying sport, which remains dominated by heterosexual males. Although the numbers of girls and women participating in sport are greater now than ever before, there are still areas that remain closed to females. This book explores less recognized facets of sport and gender, including aspects of sexuality, that expose how inequality is maintained and produced over time, and also looks at equality, power, meaning, and change both between and within males and females."–BOOK JACKET
