Feminist Responses to the Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan Spectacle
Redaktion: Baughman, Cynthia

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The attack on Nancy Kerrigan at the 1994 U.S. Figure Skating Championships set the stage for a Winter Olympics spectacle: Tonya versus Nancy. Women on Ice collects the writings of a diverse group of feminists who address and question our national obsession with Tonya and Nancy and what this tells us about perceptions of women in twentieth century America.
