Physical Education and Femininity.
Hopwood, Tracey; Carrington, Bruce
Educational Research, v36 n3 p237-46 Win 1994
Survey responses from 280 British students aged 11-16 found girls well disposed toward physical education and almost as confident in their physical abilities as boys. They demonstrated no conflict between participation and notions of femininity and were more willing than boys to question the gender stereotypes assigned to sports. (SK)
