  • The Portrayal of Black Female Athletes in Children's Picturebooks
    Strides Toward Equality: The Portrayal of Black Female Athletes in Children’s Picturebooks Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Rebekah May Bruce, M.A. Graduate Program in Education: Teaching and Learning The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee: Michelle Ann Abate, Advisor Patricia Enciso Ruth Lowery Alia Dietsch Copyright by Rebekah May Bruce 2018 Abstract This dissertation examines nine narrative non-fiction picturebooks about Black American female athletes. Contextualized within the history of children’s literature and American sport as inequitable institutions, this project highlights texts that provide insights into the past and present dominant cultural perceptions of Black female athletes. I begin by discussing an eighteen-month ethnographic study conducted with racially minoritized middle school girls where participants analyzed picturebooks about Black female athletes. This chapter recognizes Black girls as readers and intellectuals, as well as highlights how this project serves as an example of a white scholar conducting crossover scholarship. Throughout the remaining chapters, I rely on cultural studies, critical race theory, visual theory, Black feminist theory, and Marxist theory to provide critical textual and visual analysis of the focal picturebooks. Applying these methodologies, I analyze the authors and illustrators’ representations of gender, race, and class. Chapter Two discusses the ways in which the portrayals of track star Wilma Rudolph in Wilma Unlimited and The Quickest Kid in Clarksville demonstrate shifting cultural understandings of Black female athletes. Chapter Three argues that Nothing but Trouble and Playing to Win draw on stereotypes of Black Americans as “deviant” in order to construe tennis player Althea Gibson as a “wild child.” Chapter Four discusses the role of family support in the representations of Alice Coachman in Queen of the Track and Touch the Sky.

  • Women's Sports Foundation Honors Sports' Greatest Female Athletes
    Women's Sports Foundation EVENTS Seite 1 von 2 Women’s Sports Foundation Honors Sports’ Greatest Female Athletes Megan Youngblood Underneath the Waldorf=Astoria’s chandeliered ceiling, hundreds of guests and more than 80 outstanding female athletes filled the Grand Ballroom. Monday night, the Women’s Sports Foundation hosted the most decorated and celebrated female athletes as well as celebrities from film and television at the 26th Annual Salute to Women in Sports Awards Dinner and Auction. In an annual event that raises over $1 million each year, this night was no exception. Supporters, activists and participants of women’s sports contributed $1.5 million to the Foundation’s grassroots programming for girls and women in sports. Female athletes represented 43 different sports ranging from archery and basketball to judo and wrestling – an overwhelmingly powerful grouping of women showcasing the dynamics of muscles, beauty and attitude. Among the familiar faces were top athletes such as Tamika Catchings (basketball), Carly Patterson (gymnastics) and Mia Hamm (soccer) and celebrity award presenters Soledad O’Brien, L.L. Cool J and Star Jones Reynolds. L.L. Cool J realized this strong presence as he faced the audience, saying, “There are amazing genetics in this room.” Olympic gold medalist Erin Popovich was named 2005 Individual Sportswoman of the Year and was recognized as a dominant competitor in Paralympic swimming. At the 2004 Paralympic Games in Athens, Greece, Popovich won a gold medal in every event that she competed in for Team USA and set five new American records. Receiving the 2005 Team Sportswoman of the Year honor was Cat Osterman, the youngest member of the 2004 U.S.

  • Characterization of Popular Culture Icons in LIFE and TIME Magazines
    STANLEY, MARSHICA., M.A. Characterization of Popular Culture Icons in LIFE and TIME Magazines. (2008) Directed by Dr. Rebecca Adams. 193 pp. Popular culture icons are physical objects of everyday use that make the everyday meaningful. They are ideas, both old and new, that are at the mercy of its viewer, meaning whatever the viewer desires whenever the viewers desires it. Celebrities with iconic images are global figures worshipped by the public. Their images appear to the public through the media and have their images transmitted globally through the media. No research currently examines the characteristics used to describe the idea of the icon in media. Research studies the use of stereotypes to depict women, racial minorities, as well as sporting individuals. The characterization of sporting individuals is frequently related to their gender or race. This research examines the differences in characterization of eight individuals with iconic images from the entertainment and sports industries in LIFE and TIME magazines. The eight individuals (Muhammad Ali, Babe Didrikson, Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Wilma Rudolph, Babe Ruth, and Oprah Winfrey) were selected based on the number of appearances they made in icon literature listing individuals as icons. Gender, race, and occupation differences are analyzed as well as trends in characterization over time. The individuals are also examined to determine which individuals have the most iconic images. Content analysis was conducted of magazine articles about the eight celebrities. The articles provide narratives about them as an ideal as opposed to them as a people. Results indicate that Whites, males, and entertainers have images that generally average more characteristics used to depict them to the public than Blacks, females, or sportsmen and women.

    Vol 39 No 1, January - March 2001, Page 46 Vol 39 No 1, January - March 2001 PREVIOUS ... CONTENTS ... SEARCH ... NEXT Page 46 Women in Sports by Cynthia A. Malecki "One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar." With those words by Helen Keller (1880–1968), the theme for this issue "Women in sports" was chosen. Powerful images came to mind, such as a solitary woman running through the desert, or whacking a tennis ball over the net, or jumping a hurdle—images of women aggressively competing, pushing the edge, and sweating. Those images and the opportunities for women to not only participate in athletics but be recognized for their achievements can be summed up in a phrase from the seventies "You’ve come a long way, baby!" The legendary "Babe" Didrickson Zaharias, who mastered many a sport and competed alongside men in golf, finally succumbed to wearing makeup and dresses so that society would deem her "feminine." In the 1992 Olympic Games, Algerian middle-distance runner Hassiba Boulmerka received death threats—not support—from some people in her country. They objected to the Muslim woman running in the track and field competition dressed in shorts and a sleeveless top. She should cover herself, they said, and not run with naked legs in front of thousands of men. Hassiba replied she was an athlete and was appropriately dressed for the competitions. It has been a long hard struggle for women. When the modern Olympic Games started in 1896, there were no women athletes. Four years later, at the Paris Olympics, Charlotte Cooper became the first woman to win a gold medal (in tennis).

Imposing sex segregation on sports is problematic for many reasons. Sex segregation reflects and reinforces a binary view of both sex and gender unsupported by science. It communicates that women are physically unable to compete against men, even though research indicates considerable variation among individual athletes and different sports, and further reveals that attributes other than sex are often more important determinants of athletic ability. It reinforces unfounded gender stereotypes that harm both women and men. And sex segregation uncritically prioritizes athletic activities involving strengths typically associated with male bodies, without requiring us to ask why we view these strengths as the most important in the first place.
