As in many other fields, in sports too, women were latecomers and considered as the ‘other sex’ – at least until the twenty-first century. When sport developed in its modern forms towards the second half of the nineteenth century, women were (and to a certain degree still are) considered too weak to participate in strenuous physical activities, and were thus excluded from various sports, competitions and events. Although they gradually gained access to all sports, competitive sport was – and is still today – one of the few areas in modern societies with strict gender segregation: in most sports, men do not compete against women and playing sport is always ‘doing gender’. Yet, in many epochs and in many regions of the world, there were female ‘rebels’ who did not comply with the ideals, norms and rules that contributed to women’s marginalization. Who were these women, what were their aims and motivations, which strategies did they apply and how did they fight and win their battles against the gender order of their time? The chapters were originally published as a special issue of Sport in Society.

Jedna z najsłynniejszych himalaistek świata. Postać i wybitna, i kłopotliwa: przez nieokiełznaną osobowość, upór i dążenie do realizacji celów na przekór wszystkiemu. Pierwsza Polka i Europejka na Evereście, pierwsza kobieta, która zdobyła mityczny szczyt K2. Uwielbiana przez publiczność i media, uwierająca górskie środowisko zarówno dokonaniami, jak i niepohamowanym apetytem na zdobywanie najwyższych szczytów. Kobieta nietuzinkowa, owładnięta pasją. Wanda Rutkiewicz miała osobowość bogatą i skomplikowaną, była uparta i nieustannie balansowała na granicy bólu istnienia i ciepła blasku sławy. I bezwiednie zmierzała do samounicestwienia. Elżbieta Sieradzi...

Grenzen im Aufstieg

Bergexpeditionen auf Himalaya-Gipfel wurden von reinen Frauenteams erstmals in den 1950er Jahren unternommen. Bergsteigerinnen eröffnete sich damit eine Möglichkeit, in die Männerbastion des Höhenbergsteigens vorzudringen. Martina Gugglberger verwendet diese Frauenexpeditionen als Linse, um Handlungsspielräume, Geschlechterverhältnisse, Netzwerke und biographische Hintergründe von Protagonistinnen im Höhenbergsteigen von 1955 bis 2014 zu untersuchen. Ihr Blick in die Geschichte des »Frauenalpinismus« verdeutlicht die lange Tradition von Ausgrenzung und Abwertung weiblicher Aktivitäten im Bergsport. Gleichzeitig veranschaulicht das Buch entlang politischer, sozialer und ethnischer Aspekte der Frauenexpeditionen, wie sich die realen und symbolischen »Grenzen im Aufstieg« für Bergsteigerinnen ein Stück weit verschoben. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0

Dans les années 1970 et 1980, aux heures les plus sombres du communisme, la Pologne a vu éclore une génération d’alpinistes exceptionnels. Sans espoir d’un avenir décent et assoiffés de liberté, ces grimpeurs téméraires ont réussi, à force d’obstination et d’ingéniosité, à parcourir le monde à la recherche des ascensions les plus extrêmes. Mais c’est surtout en Asie et en Himalaya qu’ils marquèrent l’histoire de l’alpinisme en réalisant des exploits auparavant inimaginables. Des villes grises de la Pologne communiste aux cimes étincelantes de l’Himalaya, voici l’histoire magnifique et dramatique de ces hommes partis en quête de leur liberté dans les p...
