Reviews for Sex, Power and the Games
'...Woodward comprehensively illustrates how the Games as well as their connection with various social, economic and cultural apparatuses both challenge and generate sex/gender inequality. Overall, this is an important, invaluable resource for those interested in the gender dimension of sports.' - Essential, by Choice
