The most wide-ranging volume ever published on the broad topic of gender and sexuality within sport. Summing Up: Recommended. -S. K. Fields, University of Colorado-Denver, CHOICE Review, December 2014 ...both fascinating and leading edge...The Routledge Handbook of Sport, Gender and Sexuality highlights how much more there is to know. It also demonstrates how many ongoing and emerging issues there are to consider, accomodate and./or address. I highly recommend this text for those interested in this field and how sport, gender and sexuality intertwine. - Elizabeth Bennet, Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA) This Handbook presents a vital contribution to the academic conversations surrounding gender and sexuality and should be seen as a foundational read for any student or academic concerned with this terrain. - Benjamin Moreland, University of Gloucestershire, idrottsforum.org
