Women in Sports

Hello everyone! I am Elise and in these posts I will be discussing women's sports, women in sports, and the idea of femininity in sports. Typically, when one thinks of female sports they think things like gymnastics, volleyball, or even dancing and cheerleading. Most often, women are not widely considered in mainstream sports such as basketball or baseball, these sports are seen as predominately masculine and often women who participate in this sports are thought to be masculine themselves. In my posts, I will be discussing all women's sports from cheerleading to competitive weight lifting, and I hope to convey the idea that women who compete in athletics are not masculine and that they can bring their own strength and femininity into whatever sport they choose to compete in. I look forward to researching this topic and hope to see feedback!
