This can cause many different impacts and actions on individuals who are viewing a variety of social media content or posts. One can become inspired by those they follow by engaging in similar practices to either better themselves or begin to compare themselves to others which can lead to more negative side effects such as developing low self-esteem, anxiety, and even depressive thoughts. Little is known about how social media can impact people’s social support and views on their body images.

  • 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.

  • Simone Biles Wins Sixth US Gymnastics Title by Associated Press, Adapted by Newsela Staff on 08.15.19 Word Count 778 Level 960L
    Taking it to the mat: Simone Biles wins sixth US gymnastics title By Associated Press, adapted by Newsela staff on 08.15.19 Word Count 778 Level 960L Image 1. Simone Biles celebrates after competing in the uneven bars to win the all around senior women's competition at the 2019 U.S. Gymnastics Championships Sunday, August 11, 2019, in Kansas City, Missouri. Photo by: Charlie Riedel/AP Photo KANSAS CITY, Missouri — The choice was entirely hers. Yet gymnast Simone Biles knew what she had to do. Sure, she could have taken her triple-twisting double-flip (also called "the triple-double") out of her floor exercise routine the final night of the U.S. women's gymnastics championships on Sunday, August 11. She didn't need the triple-double to win another national title. Still, her coach, Laurent Landi, left the choice to Biles. After the Olympic champion's bid to become the first woman to complete the triple-double in competition came up a bit short on Friday night, he probably knew her choice. Landi has spent enough time in the gym around the 22-year-old to know Biles is reshaping what's possible in her sport. It quickly becomes evident that sidestepping a challenge isn't really Biles' thing. This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com. The First Pass So she threw it in at the end of her first tumbling pass, fueled by ambition and unbelievable skill. When the dizzying combination ended with her feet firmly on the floor — if barely in bounds — a jolt shook through the packed arena.

  • 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.
