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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Georgia Cervin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030269086\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030269081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/11\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 347\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 1.19d","brand":"Georgia Cervin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089059492095,"sku":"9783030269081","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d99c4b61-4880-4dd2-9c2f-ecdc5a4b1b3e.jpg?v=1769107972","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/histories-of-womens-work-in-georgia-cervin-9783030269081","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
