      abstract = {"This book examines the most prolific international womens  football tournament--the FIFA Womens World Cup--through  media, fandom and how mediated women's soccer can improve  on a global scale. Women's soccer has exploded in terms of  media exposure, television audiences and live  spectatorship. This book explores those macro-level issues,  while also digging into micro-level topics such as Megan  Rapinoes celebrations and political activism, VAR reviews,  LGBTQ imagery, and cultural obstacles for womens football  in Central-Eastern Europe and Nigeria. Using an  interdisciplinary approach, scholars look at issues through  the lenses of feminist theory, cultural studies, rhetorical  criticism, political economy, performative sport fandom,  autoethnography, and more. Thus, the book is important  reading for students, researchers and media practitioners  with interests in womens soccer, gender in sports media,  coverage of womens sport, and sport fandom."--},
