Women In Rugby
Paperback Edition: 1
This is the first book to introduce key themes in the study of womens rugby from multi-disciplinary perspectives, including history, sociology, gender studies, sport development and sport science.
Featuring contributions from leading researchers and former international players from across Canada, England, France, New Zealand and the USA, the book opens with a global history of womens rugby, locating the game in the wider context of the development of womens sport and exploring important social issues such as race, gender and violence. The book then looks at training and performance analysis at pitch level, helping the reader get a sense of the game from the ground up, before focusing on womens rugby through the eyes of others (such as rugby coaches), womens experiences of rugbys culture and promotional culture.
This is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in womens sport, rugby, sport and social issues, sport development, or sport history.
