This perceptive, lively study explores US women's sport through historical 'points of change': particular products or trends that dramatically influenced both women's participation in sport and cultural responses to women athletes. Beginning with the seemingly innocent ponytail, the subject of the introduction, scholar Jaime Schultz challenges the reader to look at the historical and sociological significance of now-common items such as sports bras and tampons and ideas such as sex testing and competitive cheerleading.

This volume covers current issues, cutting-edge debates and new knowledge on women and sport. The range of topics extends from female coaches and women in sport to sexual harassment, from snowboarders to schoolgirls, and from physical education to football. The aim of this book is to provide an overview of the current debates on gender and sport from a women's perspective, to share new knowledge about important issues, in particular about gender (in)equalities, and to present insights into the causes and effects of the debates and developments in the arena of women's sport. A special focus in all chapters will be on the perspective of change, and backgrounds, reasons and effects of gender arrangements will be analyzed by scholars who made major contributions to the development of a new gender order in sport and society. Other authors are younger scholars with new perspectives and approaches - who represent the new generation of gender researchers. I like to recommend the book since the quality of the various contributions, based on empirical data and embedded in sound theoretical frameworks, is generally good. - Inge Caringbould in: European journal for Sport and Society, 1/2014 The input from the most important authors from this field of research, the empirical character and currency of the research, together with the abundant references to the most recent literature in each chapter are perhaps the most useful aspects of the book. The publication certainly suggests directions for future research and identifies the main challenges for women in sport. As such it is relevant not only to researchers but also to practitioners working on gender and sport. Finally, it is worth noting that the authors are very active both as academics and in sports. Many of them were or still are involved with professional sport. These facts make the book an excellent example of feminist praxis. - Honorata Jakubowska in: International Review for the Sociology of Sport, 49/2014 Im vorliegenden Band werden gegenwärtige Fragen, Vorreiterdebatten und neue Erkenntnisse einer genderkritischen Sportwissenschaft gebündelt und ein aktueller Einblick in die zentralen Diskussionen des Fachs gegeben. So ist die Auswahl der Autor/-innen aus älteren und jüngeren Generationen breit gefächert. Ebenso vielfältig sind die den einzelnen Beiträgen übergeordneten Themenbereiche. - Sebastian Nestler querelles-net, 3/2014
