New sporting femininities: embodied politics in postfeminist times

This edited collection critically explores new and emerging models of female athleticism in an era characterised as postfeminist.

It approaches postfeminism through a critical lens to investigate new forms of politics being practiced by women in physical activity, sport and online spaces at the intersections of gender, ethnicity, sexuality, and ability.

This book features chapters on celebrity athletes such as Serena Williams and Ronda Rousey, alongside studies of the online fitspo movement and women's growing participation in activities like roller derby, skateboarding, and football.
