Description
In the second edition of this groundbreaking social history, M. Ann Hall begins with an important new chapter on Aboriginal women and early sport and ends with a new chapter tying today's trends and issues in Canadian women's sport to their origins in the past.
Students will appreciate the more descriptive chapter titles and the restructuring of the book into easily digestible sections. Fifty-two images complement Hall's lively narrative.

Editorial Reviews
"Hall’s reflection on the past, present, and future of Canadian women’s sport challenges us to advocate for change informed by careful interrogation of the past. This accessible, carefully crafted text remains a must-read for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of women’s sport."
