Futbolera
Latin American athletes have achieved iconic status in global popular culture, but what do we know about the communities of women in sport?

Sport and Women
Although female athletes are successful in all types of sport, in many countries sport is still a male domain. This book examines and compares the sporting experiences of women from different countries around the world and offers the first systematic and cross-cultural analysis of the topic of women in sport. Sport and Women presents a wealth of new research data, including in-depth case-studies of 16 countries in North and South America, Asia, Eastern and Western Europe and Africa. In addition, the book offers comparative assessments of the extent to which women are represented in global sport and the opportunities that women have to participate in decision-making processes in sport. The book illuminates a wide range of key international issues in women's sport, such as cultural barriers to participation and the efficacy of political action. It is therefore essential reading for anybody with an interest in the sociology, culture and politics of sport.

O corpo das mulheres e as artes marciais
"Nesses meus tantos anos de Jiu-Jitsu, e lá se vão 45 anos, percebi que, temos uma dívida enorme com a academia e/ou a academia tem uma dívida enorme com o Jiu-Jitsu. Temos poucos artigos científicos sobre esses temas tratados na pesquisa. E, sobretudo, quando se trata de estudos sobre a participação das mulheres nas artes marciais, a conta diminuiu absurdamente. Comentando o livro e seu título, O Corpo das Mulheres e as Artes Marciais: Um método de autodefesa feminista, é preciso registrar que Tainá trabalha forte para romper essa escassez de artigos.

E, ao fazer isso, nos convida à indignação, ao pontuar os duros longos anos de exclusão e silenciamento das mulheres no tatame." Yvone Magalhães Duarte - Mestra de Jiu-Jitsu, 7o grau (faixa preta há 33 anos), foi a primeira mulher a ser faixa-preta no jiu-jitsu brasileiro, pioneira nesta arte marcial.
