Athlete activism by female Olympians and Paralympians is wide-ranging, with a colorful, sometimes contentious history blending sport and society. Emphasizing the rhetoric of women from around the world in multiple disciplines, Female Olympian and Paralympian Athlete Activists highlights 800+ women from 90 countries (including the Refugee Olympic Team). The book is underscored by author Linda K. Fuller's developing theory of Gendered Critical Discourse Analysis (GCDA).
