Sisterhood in Sports: How Female Athletes Collaborate and Compete tells the stories of all kinds of female athletes in a variety of sports. Their natural tendency to use talking as a primary form of communication is essential to their experiences and successes in sports. Women and girls tend to have BFFs, collaborate during periods of stress, express empathy for one another, worry about themselves and others, and desire to have fun in sports, which makes their experiences of sports and competition different from those of their male counterparts. Female strengths are grounded in both mind and body, and they take these strengths onto the court, field, and track.

"Triumphant wins, gut-wrenching losses, last-second shots, underdogs, competition, and loyalty--it's fun to be a fan. But when a football player takes a hit to the head after yet another study has warned of the dangers of CTE, or when a team whose mascot was born in an era of racism and bigotry takes the field, or when a relief pitcher accused of domestic violence saves the game, how is one to cheer? Welcome to the club for sports fans who care too much. In Loving Sports When They Don't Love You Back, acclaimed sports writers Jessica Luther and Kavitha A. Davidson tackle the most pressing issues in sports, why they matter, and how we can do better. For the authors, "sticking to sports" is not an option--not when our taxes are paying for the stadiums, and college athletes aren't getting paid at all. But simply quitting a favorite team won't change corrupt and deplorable practices, and the root causes of many of these problems are endemic in our wider society. An essential read for modern fans, Loving Sports When They Don't Love You Back challenges the status quo and explores how we might begin to reconcile our conscience with our fandom"--

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
