About the Author :
Michael A. Messner is Professor of Sociology and Gender Studies at the University of Southern California and is the author or editor of several books, including Taking the Field: Women, Men, and Sports and Paradoxes of Youth and Sport (coedited with Margaret Gatz and Sandra J. Ball-Rokeach), also published by SUNY Press.

Review :
"This book provides a valuable introduction to the issues concerning gender in sport while also maintaining a sophisticated level of analysis ... Messner's innovative work certainly deserves reprinting, and this volume conveniently self-selects some of his most influential arguments." - Signs "In Out of Play, Michael Messner tells a fascinating story about the gender dynamics at play in late twentieth-century organized sports ... The brilliance of Messner's volume lies in its ability to combine analysis of materially based institutional structures and media-based representations that together project the gender ideologies that at any given moment help constitute the world of sports." - American Journal of Play "Messner takes the topic of gender to new heights ... will be an appealing, eye-opening, and frightening read for anyone interested in sports, women's studies, gender studies, or American culture in general." - CHOICE "There is a tremendous range, depth, and quality to Messner's scholarship that has had a profound impact on the field. Reading the selections is somewhat akin to retracing the innovations and developments of the field over the past two decades-and Messner has been at the cutting edge at every turn." - Douglas Hartmann, author of Race, Culture, and the Revolt of the Black Athlete: The 1968 Olympic Protests and Their Aftermath
