The purpose of the ‘five continents series’ is to commemorate some of the many inspirational women who have worked in physical education, sport and dance to increase opportunities for girls and women around the world. We thank Eliana Ferreira whose project led to the University of Juiz de Fora (Brazil) partnering IAPESGW on this unique venture. Inspirational women: Making a difference in physical education, sport and dance is a five book series and IAPESGW is proud to say that members of the voluntary Executive Board stepped up to collect, edit and present each of these books for the series. We also thank the members of the Association who were the major contributors and facilitators of contacts that made this ambitious idea a success. Oceania – Janice Crosswhite OAM (Australia). Europe – Rosa Diketmüller (Austria). Americas – Beatriz Ferreira (Brazil). Africa – Anneliese Goslin (South Africa). Asia – Canan Koca (Turkey). The series will increase the visibility of women in the field across the world by profiling women’s lives and achievements. It is 7 by no means an exhaustive collection of outstanding women. There will be many others who have been influential as roles models and leaders. But it offers a contribution in a world where men and male sports still dominate newspapers and television broadcasts alongside the history books of modern sport. The editor of each book in this series had the autonomy to manage the collation of the volume as she preferred. She was also tasked with contextualising the continent in the introduction, offering a rationale and synopsis of the distinctive content and concluding each volume. The books are published by the research group "Núcleo do Grupo de Pesquisa em Inclusão, Movimento e Ensino a Distância [NGIME]" (Research Group on Inclusion, Movement and Distance Learning) coordinated by Eliana Ferreira – University of Juiz da Fora, it is a major publication project sponsor by the Brazilian government. It is expected that the books will be distributed to the Brazilian Universities and to attendees at ICSEMIS, Brazil 2016. The International Association of Physical Education and Sport for Girls and Women The International Association of Physical Education and Sport for Girls and Women (IAPESGW) was formed in 1949 and is the longest serving voluntary organization supporting the advancement of girls and women in Physical Education, Sport, Dance and Physical Activity. Our Aims are: 1 To bring together interested scholars and practitioners of many countries working to improve the position of girls and women in the fields of physical education, sport and physical activity. 8 2 To represent the interests of girls and women at all levels and in all areas of physical education, sport and physical activity. 3 To strengthen international contacts and networks. 4 To afford opportunities for the discussion of mutual challenges and to share good practice. 5 To promote exchanges of persons and ideas among countries. 6 To promote research on physical education, sport and physical activity for girls and women. 7 To co-operate with other associations and agencies working to promote the interests of girls and women in physical education, sport and physical activity. 8 To promote leadership development throughout the world. Our Vision: Throughout the world, girls and women will benefit from: y Participation in physical education, sport, physical activity and dance. y Improved health through physical activity for all. y Scientifically-based information. y Quality education. 9 Ultimately, throughout the world, girls and women will be empowered through physical activity to: enjoy a balanced and healthy lifestyle, achieve a sense of value and well-being and make a positive contribute to society. Members of the Association share belief in the value of physical activity in the lives of all girls and women, thereby forming a network of voices of, and for, the support of girls and women, improving their position at local, national and global levels. All members supporting IAPESGW at national and international level are volunteers who are driven to make time and space for stronger international support and camaraderie that networks like IAPESGW can bring. Over many years IAPESGW has been the place where young or early career researchers have found a supportive and accessible context alongside experienced colleagues in which to embark on presentation and research projects. The Executive Board is strong by global reach and also range of academic and practical experience and skills. Members of the Board are elected every four years and new volunteers who really want to make a difference by serving such an Association are always welcome. The current Executive Board indicates the extent of our international collaboration
