Description

A Level Playing Field for All examines candidates' use of sports in election campaigns as a way to understand broader issues of candidate viability and, in particular, the hurdles that women must overcome to achieve political office. It reveals the extent to which athletic participation has become a social eligibility factor in the success of candidates for elected office.--[book cover]
