Analyzing the key players and political moments in womens professional tennis since 1968, this book explores the historical lineage of social activism within womens tennis and the issues, expressions, risks, and effects associated with each cohort of players.
Drawing on original qualitative research, including interviews with former players, the book examines tenniss position in debates around gender, sexuality, race, and equal pay. It looks at how the actions and choices of the pioneering activist players were simultaneously shaped by, and had a part in shaping, larger social movements committed to challenging the status quo and working towards increased economic equality for women. Taking an intersectional approach, the book assesses the significance of players from Althea Gibson and Martina Navratilova to Venus and Serena Williams, illuminating our understanding of the relationship between sport, social justice, and wider society.
This is important reading for researchers and students working in sport studies, sociology, womens studies, and political science, as well as anybody with an interest in social activism and social movements. It is also a fascinating read for the general tennis fan.
