Women sport fans: identification, participation, representation

Women worldwide are making their presence felt as sport
fans in rapidly increasing numbers. This book makes a
distinctive contribution to the study of sport fandom by
exploring the growing visibility and interest in women who
follow sport. It presents the latest data on women’s sport
spectatorship in different regions of the world, posing new
theoretical paradigms to study the globalised nature of
female sport fandom. By using a critical feminist perspective
to investigate cultural conditions and social contexts
(globalisation, digital networked technologies,
consumerism, neoliberalism and postfeminism), it brings
into view a diversity of women’s voices and experiences as
sport fans.
