The book Chinese Women Striving for Status: Sport as Empowerment by Dong Jinxia and J.A. Mangan (Peter Lang) analyses for the first time, in informed and substantial detail, the extraordinary, successful and impressive efforts of Chinese sportswomen in their collective striving for, and achieving of, national and international recognition, status and supremacy. Daniel Alsarve is impressed: “The authors have carried out a thorough and impressive empirical investigation and have produced a standard reference work that scholars and students will need to engage with for a long time to come.”
