Synopsis
The Girl and the Game traces the history of women's organized sport in Canada from its early, informal roots in the late nineteenth century through the formation of amateur and professional teams to today's tendency to market women athletes, especially Olympians, as both athletic and sexual. When women actively participate in the symbols, practices, and institutions of sport, what they do is often not considered "real" sport, nor in some cases are they viewed as "real" women. What follows from this notion of sport as a site of cultural struggle is that the history of women in sport is also a history of cultural resistance.

Review
"The Girl and the Game is a fantastic book!" -- Tanya Dubnicoff, World Champion sprint cyclist and three time Olympian
"These are the stories of ordinary women and extraordinary athletes who challenged the status quo. Meticulously researched and richly crafted." -- Mary Jollimore, sports writer
Synopsis
In her latest feminist analysis of sports and gender, Hall (emeritus, physical education and recreation, U. of Alberta) traces women's progress despite sex discrimination, debates over competition and sexuality, and the commodification of physicality. Includes photos. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
