Abstract
Using case studies from Canada, the United States, and Australia, the nine chapters, which were written between 1989 and 2002, focus on lesbians' experiences in sport and physical education, sexual and homophobic harassment and the emergence and significance of woman-centered sport alternatives. Part III (chapters 6, 7, 8, & 9), Radical feminist analyses and alternatives, begins with a discussion of the 30-year history of gender and sexuality in sport research and reviews the influence of postmodernism and cultural studies on the study of the female sporting body.
