“Contested Ground” will survey episodes of girls’ and women’s pathbreaking entrance into various sports around the globe. From “traditional” or “feminine” sports such as gymnastics that test the boundaries of body physiology to “rough” or “masculine” sports like soccer or boxing, women have proven time and again that they are not only capable of competing----but they are able to meet or even surpass their male counterparts. Politics, medical pseudoscience, religion, and more have stymied women’s entrance into the sports around the world, but women continue to break barriers and prove that sport is more than a game!
