Title: unique, though the arguments are what one might expect.
Product review: There are surprisingly few books on women (and queer people) in sport, and of the few I found, this was the one most appropriate for introducing the topic to undergraduate students who are not specifically studying sports sociology. I used it as background reading for a lecture on sports and music in a queer music survey course, and it was just what I needed. The arguments generally are not very novel, and anyone with a background in women's studies or queer studies would not find much very new here, but it is a good resource for introducing many of these standard issues to non-specialist undergrad students, and it is unique in its coverage on women and sport. Overall, I'm glad to have it on my shelf, and have used it several times.
