Very interesting read for me as a former competitive swimmer in my teens who watched the GDR athletes debacle and their dominance in sport at the time. Sharron Davies was very much affected by this and speaks out via this book.She is standing up for women in sport against the onslaught of males competing in female sport and the administrative organisations that allow this to continue. It’s a complex read with the laws, history and numerous organisations involved, but definitely worth reading. It’s really important for the future of women and girls fitness and sports.

On the face of it, women's sport is on the rise, garnering more attention and grassroots involvement than ever before. However, the truth is that in many respects progress is stalling, or even falling back. Sharron Davies is no stranger to battling the routine sexism the sporting world. She missed out on Olympic Gold because of blatant doping among East German athletes in the 1980s, and has never received justice. Now, biological males are being allowed to compete directly against women under the guise of trans 'self-ID', a development that could destroy the integrity of female sport. This callous indifference towards women in sport, argue Sharron and journalist Craig Lord, is merely the latest stage in a decades-long history of sexism on the part of sport's higher-ups. A strong fightback is required to root out the lingering misogyny that plagues sporting governance, media coverage and popular perceptions. This book provides the facts, science and arguments that will help women in sport get the justice they deserve. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
