- Abstract
Myths generated by binary gender opposition have long prevented women from participating in sport. The feminist movement in the 1970s dispelled these myths and made female sport superficially prosperous. In spite of this. since the gender bias in sports continues to evolve a new gender politics is required. Gender trouble, which produces a kind of confusion in gender identity, is very important because it radically asks the meaning of sexual differentiation. Sport has the potential to be a symbolic space in which gender trouble is generated, and an arena for a bitter gender struggle.
