Download or read book Women in Sports written by Maylon Hanold and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing key data, insights, and ways of thinking about women and sports, this book is an excellent resource for high school and undergraduate students as well as for sport organizations serving girls and women. Women are participating in sports in record numbers, and thanks in part to Title IX and a growing interest in women's sports, they're breaking records and achieving remarkable success in sports in every conceivable manner. However, women still struggle for equitable treatment in a variety of sports and face different obstacles than do their male counterparts. How can these issues be solved? Are women in sports being treated fairly? This book provides a comprehensive yet accessible overview of the state of women's participation in sports by referencing both current events and research. Additionally, it offers a breadth of information pertaining to work in sports made available to girls and women. Key aspects include a detailed history of women in sports since 1900 as well as a discussion of current issues surrounding their participation in high school and college athletics, recreational sports, physical activity, and leadership in sports organizations. In particular, the material not only recounts history and analyzes issues but also presents perspectives as to how and why sports continue to be simultaneously a means of empowerment and a conduit for the marginalization of girls and women.

Book excerpt: The accolades and high national rankings achieved by Elon University in recent years are not the sudden marvels they appear to be. The school's rise to national recognition has origins in its storied past, told in this heavily illustrated volume. From its modest beginning in the nineteenth century, Elon's history was marked by crises. Responses to them came to define the college's character. Drama informs the story of Elon University as it grew from a grove of oaks to occupy its current status on the national scene. A commitment to community, openness to innovation, and a penchant for planning and careful allocation of resources were deemed essential for survival, and they became hallmarks of the school, advancing it into the twenty-first century. The mythological phoenix of antiquity, arising from its own ashes, emerged again in 2000 as the symbol of a new Elon.

From Athens 1896 to Tokyo 2020, this history of women's participation in the Olympic Games centers on athletes who overcame entrenched inequity to gain inclusion.
