- Description
- The book explores 'the Caster Semenya Case' from socio-cultural, ethical and legal perspectives. The South African athlete Caster Semynia (1991) won the 800m title at the 2009 World Championship and she was obliged to undergo gender testing and was for a time withdrawn from international competition. The book explores the ethics of how gender norms in sport, and in society more generally, are constructed through appearance, behaviour and sporting performance. It analyses the impact of standards in sports: the interrelationships between sport, culture, and the media: the link between mediacal sciences, society and gender: and includes discussion of key concepts, such as intersex, body norms and fairness.

- Description
- The author argues that the media are assaulting on women by distorting stories about women and that these stories sell because they play to the fears of affluent women. Her topics include: negative representations of working mothers: stories stressing the perils of childcare and divorce: media treatment of powerful political figures: sex and death-obsessed tales of pretty, white girls and women. Rivers also considers debates about male and female brainpower and the claim that the attention paid to girls in schools is ruining boys’ chances for achievement.
