This book explores this double-edged status by focusing on administration, coaching and organising of the game, alongside particular issues surrounding ethnicity and sexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book was published as a special issue of the\u003cem\u003e Soccer and Society\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e. \u003cp\u003eThis book examines the complex ways in which girls and women experience football cultures in Britain. It extends current debate surrounding women and football (namely, how gender has functioned to shape women’s experiences of playing the game), by focusing on organisational, administrative and coaching practices, alongside the particular issues surrounding sexuality, ethnicity and disability (not only gender).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book analyses football and gender to reveal the subtle forms of discrimination that persist. It is important to highlight the many challenges and transformations made by girls and women but more importantly to consider the ways power continues to operate to devalue and undermine girls and women involved in the game. The UK-based authors make use of their recent research findings to offer critical debate on girls’ and women’s current experiences of British football cultures. Overall the book reveals the present day complexities of marginalisation and exclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book was published as a special issue of \u003cem\u003eSport and Society\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40405062975585,"sku":"9780415560870","price":164.53,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/a1afbe843474e104e8bc0fc8ce271227.png?v=1683170733","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780415560870-womens-football-in-the-uk","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
