It explores  the gendered barriers which have influenced women’s sporting experiences.  Women’s lives have always been shaped by the socially and physically constructed life-cycle, and this is all the more apparent when we look at female  exercise.  Even self-proclaimed ‘sporty’  women have had to negotiate obstacles at various stages of their lives to try  and maintain their athletic identity. So how did women overcome these  obstacles to gain access to exercise in a time when the sportswoman was not an  image society was wholly comfortable with? Oral history testimony and  extensive archival research show how the physically and socially constructed  female life-cycle shaped women’s experiences of exercise and sport throughout  these decades.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-07-28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137583185\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-58319-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 254\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44753439293580,"sku":"9781137583185","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137583185.jpg?v=1775963679","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781137583185","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
