Robin Kietlinski Japanese women and sport
beyond baseball and sumo
Gedrukt boek
"The stereotype of the weak and delicate Japanese woman, confined to domestic spaces, is challenged in this study of an underexplored area of modern history, namely Japanese women's participation in sport. The author first situates her topic within wider contexts: the sociopolitical role of sport in Japanese history, women's sport in East Asia, the role of the Meiji "enlightenment" drive that saw physical education introduced for girls. She goes on to trace the progress of women's participation in sport across multiple disciplines, examining pioneering figures and milestone achievements against domestic socioeconomic change."-- Uitgever
