This is the first book to offer an in-depth examination of the nexus of women, sport and culture within the context of motherhood, uncovering new narratives that raise the profile of non-conformist performances.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book brings together international researchers using innovative and rigorous qualitative methods to show how sport affords or constrains women's agency to devise, negotiate and live alternative versions of motherhood in and through sport. Presenting stories of sporting mothers in contexts including martial arts, leisure swimming, recreational running, triathlon and climbing, the book explores the shifting meaning and practices of motherhood across social, cultural and media\/digital landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDeliberately challenging taken-for-granted ways of thinking about motherhood and sport, this book is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in the socio-cultural study of sport, gender and sport, women's studies, sport coaching, sport leadership, sport development, or qualitative and digital research methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lucy Spowart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367691825\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367691820\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Lucy Spowart","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44076214583551,"sku":"9780367691820","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b2cc943e-2653-47c2-88a2-3c8d1a0634e2.jpg?v=1685463795","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/motherhood-and-sport-lucy-spowart-9780367691820","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
