Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article presents an overview of some of the research trends in sport history and gender, and in particular the issue of how historians and social scientists in the field of sport research have viewed the question of the extent to which sport has contributed to the subordination or liberation women, as the case may be. Many historians, not least the pioneers of the 1980s and 1990s, have pointed to the equivocality of sport, arguing that it has both subordinated and liberated. Others have been more unequivocal in their analyses by concentrating on sport's subordinative function, arguing that the liberation that sporting women experience is only misleading, because it is individual and not societal. Moreover, they argue that sport inflicts mental and physical suffering.
