Girls and women who box enter a contested terrain of female participation that challenges dominant ideas of gender, aggression, and violence found both in sport and broader society. The result is a complex negotiation of gender and boxing both at the theoretical level between resistance and incorporation, and in the lived experiences of those involved in the boxing subculture, as they negotiate with and reconcile ideas ( and ideologies) of femininity. Using a cultural studies perspective, multiple methods were used (including semi-structured interviewing, observation, and content analysis) to understand gender ideologies and relations of power in female boxing.vi, 171 leaves ; 30 cm.engUniversity of Calgary graduate students retain copyright ownership and moral rights for their thesis.
