Instead, the segregation of women in sports is just one of the many ways in which women are told to expect less from society. Women had to fight to be included in sports in the first place, and are now only included under far less favorable terms than those enjoyed by men. There are better ways to ensure safety and fairness, the authors make clear, than segregation by gender. And this matters deeply: ending gender segregation would encourage a more equitable distribution of resources, increase women's participation in sports, and challenge outdated, sexist myths about women and their bodies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sheree Bekker, Stephen Mumford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 183639053X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781836390534\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Sheree Bekker","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46489648660735,"sku":"9781836390534","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5351eed4-42fc-40dd-bc0c-1d528b5b5b14.jpg?v=1736954166","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/open-play-sheree-bekker-9781836390534","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
