Women's Football In Oceania
Hardback Edition: 1
This book presents the most comprehensive mapping and analysis of womens football in Oceania and is the first to examine the games historical development alongside social, political, and cultural issues, weaving origin stories with players day-to-day challenges.
Alongside presentation of the contemporary state of play and its overarching narrative of womens game in the region, the book highlights key issues, discusses established and emergent themes, examines relevant contexts, investigates the status of the game at local and national levels, and lays foundations for further research. Its primary objective is to detail and illustrate the historical, social, and organisational development of the womens game, including international tournaments, national competitions, and teams in an effort to amplify the efforts of the individuals that made or make a significant contribution to the game. It draws on extensive formal and informal discussion, realises insight, proposes the means and related fields of further investigation, and generates new knowledge alongside the uncovering of old.
Womens Football in Oceania covers key events, actors, and moments and fills a gap in research for scholars of sports history and womens history.
