This is the first book to introduce key themes in the study of women’s rugby from multi-disciplinary perspectives, including history, sociology, gender studies, sport development and sport science. Featuring contributions from leading researchers and former international players from across Canada, England, France, New Zealand and the USA, the book opens with a global history of women’s rugby, locating the game in the wider context of the development of women’s sport and exploring important social issues such as race, gender and violence. The book then looks at training and performance analysis at pitch level, helping the reader get a sense of the game from the ground up, before focusing on women’s rugby through the eyes of others (such as rugby coaches), women’s experiences of rugby’s culture and promotional culture. This is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in women’s sport, rugby, sport and social issues, sport development, or sport history.

Longlisted for William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2020 'This pioneering memoir . . . engagingly balances the highs of captaincy and grand slams with striking emotional honesty as to her regrets' Guardian Books of the Year 'Her struggle is that of women’s rugby and it is told here with great honesty' Sunday Times Books of the Year Catherine Spencer was the captain of the England women’s rugby team for three years. She scored eighteen tries for England, won six of the eight Six Nations competitions she took part in, and captained her team to three championship titles, a European cup, two Nations Cup tournament victories and the World Cup final held on home soil in 2010, which thrust women’s rugby into the limelight. All of this while holding down a full time job, because the women’s team, unlike the men’s, did not get paid for their sport. Mud, Maul, Mascara is an effort to reconcile alleged opposites, to show the woman behind the international sporting success. Painfully honest about the mental struggles Catherine faced during, and after, her career as an elite athlete, it is also warm, funny and inspirational – a book for anyone who has ever had a dream, or self-doubt, or a yearning for a really good, mud-proof mascara.

Master's Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Health - Sport - Sport Sociology, grade: 1,7, Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel (Englisches Seminar), course: Kulturwissenschaften, language: English, abstract: Im Zuge dieser Arbeit soll Frauenrugby in Deutschland im kulturwissenschaftlichen Sinne näher beleuchtet werden. Hierbei wird sich besonders auf die Geschlechterrollen und die Rugbykultur und Gemeinschaft bezogen und diese in Vergleich zu Großbritannien gesetzt. Weil die Sportart mit vielen Vorurteilen belegt ist, und Rugby Stereotyp "maskulin" konnotiert ist, ist es notwendig, sich den Rollenbildern in dieser Sportart zu widmen. Zusätzlich wird der Vergleich mit Großbritannien erstellt, um verschiedene Problematisierungen mit einem Land zu kontrastieren, in dem Rugby ein Nationalsport ist. In dieser Masterarbeit werden daher am Beispiel von Frauenrugby in Deutschland tradierte Frauenbilder im Sport hinsichtlich Stereotypen und Vorurteilen untersucht und mit dem Vorreiter im Rugby Großbritannien verglichen. Ausgehend hiervon sollen die internationalen Werte und Chancen, die der Sport Frauen bietet, evaluiert werden. Die Grundlage bilden Experteninterviews. Anhand dessen werden die drei häufigsten Stereotype, denen die Spieler*innen begegneten, herausgearbeitet. Diese beziehen sich zum einen auf Körperbilder und Homosexualität. Zum Anderen auf den direkten Vergleich mit dem Spiel der Männer und die damit einhergehende Annahme der verminderten Qualität des Frauensports. Diese wird durch mangelnde Finanzierung und daraus folgende geringe mediale Präsenz verstärkt. Darauf aufbauend wird die Rugbykultur in Deutschland und international beleuchtet und hinterfragt, inwieweit Frauen darin inkludiert sind und wie dies das Gruppengefühl des Sportes formt. Zum Schluss wird die sogenannte "dritte Halbzeit" untersucht und in diesem Zuge die Werte und der Zusammenhalt thematisiert.

Shortlisted for the Sunday Times Rugby Book of the Year 2023 World in their Hands recounts the remarkable events that led to a group of friends from south-west London staging the inaugural Women's Rugby World Cup in 1991. The tournament was held just 13 years after teams from University College London and King's contested a match that catalysed the growth of the women's game in the UK, and the organisers overcame myriad obstacles before, during and after the World Cup. Those challenges, which included ingrained misogyny, motherhood, a recession, the Gulf War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, provide a fitting framing device for a book that celebrates female achievement in the face of adversity. Although ostensibly a story about women's rugby, this is a tale that has rare crossover appeal. It is not only the account of a group of inspirational women who took on the institutional misogyny that existed in rugby clubs across the globe to put on a first ever Women's Rugby World Cup. It is also the compelling and relatable tale of how those women, their peers and others in the generations before them, reshaped the idea of what it means to be a woman, finding acceptance and friendship on boggy rugby pitches. At the time, with the men's game tying itself up in knots about professionalism and apartheid, these women were a breath of fresh air. Three decades on, their achievements deserve to be highlighted to a wider audience.

This book explores the expansion of rugby from its imperial and amateur upper-class white male core into other contexts throughout the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The development of rugby in the racially divided communities of the setter empire and how this was viewed are explored initially. Then the editors turn to four case studies of rugby's expansion beyond the bounds of the British Empire (France, Italy, Japan and the USA). The role of women in rugby is examined and the subsequent development of women's rugby as one of the fastest growing sports for women in Europe, North America and Australasia in the 1980s and 1990s. The final section analyses the impact of commercialisation, professionalisation and media on rugby and the impact on the historic rugby culture linked to an ethos of amateurism.

Scrum Queens: The Story of Women's Rugby, from 1880 to the present day charts the fascinating journey of women's rugby, from widespread social disapproval to the modern era of Olympic recognition and professionalism. Along the way, the book takes in all the major moments in the history of the women's game, from groundbreaking games during the war, to the first World Cup in 1991 and a momentous first appearance for women's rugby at the 2016 Olympics. There are stories of the pioneers who fought to get the game played in its earliest days, like New Zealand's Nita Webbe and France's Henry Fléchon, while the more modern-day drivers of the game, like England's Carol Isherwood, also feature. Scrum Queens celebrates the success and heroics of the sport's top players and teams, with New Zealand's dominance of the game at every level alongside their long-time rivalry with England explored, along with the more recent successes of teams such as Ireland and Fiji, and the rise of the sevens game and its impact on women's rugby.
