Abstract

The story of women’s participation in the Olympics, as well as women’s stories about that participation, needs an holistic approach such has been taken here. At this point, it is worth noting that my subtitle’s use of the term “mediated” includes both mainstream media (print, electronic, filmic, and technological) and mediatization theory, the latter dealing with ways that media shapes and frames the language of communication within societal boundaries. This undertaking also requires the inclusion of sociocultural and political--economic considerations in its examination of female Olympians’ historical timeline. Here, read about sport/gender, sport communication, Olympism/gender, and Olympics ethics.
