Fighting Sports, Gender, and the Commodification of Violence: Heavy Bag Heroines

by Victoria E Collins and Victoria E. Collins

This book offers a glimpse into the cultural terrain of women's boxing as it manifests in everyday gyms for novice boxers. Taking an ethnographic approach, Collins examines broader understandings of gender, violence, self-defense, commodification, and health and fitness from the point of view of women who engage the sport.
