Elizabeth C.J. Pike’s The International Working Group on Women and Sport 1994-2024: The Challenge of Change (Routledge) evaluates the role of the IWG in influencing global and domestic policy and practice. In his review, Alexis Sossa finds that the volume, situated at the intersection of sports governance, political sociology, and transnational feminist mobilisation, charts the institutional evolution of the IWG. However, while the text successfully maps the bureaucratic trajectory of this movement, its reliance on executive-level discourse inadvertently reveals the persistent theoretical tensions between elite policy formulation and grassroots feminist praxis.
