Yet figure skating was once an exclusively male pastime - women did not skate in significant numbers until the late 1800s, at least a century after the founding of the first skating club. Only in the 1930s did figure skating begin to acquire its feminine image. 520 $a Artistic Impressions is the first history to trace figure skating's striking transformation from gentlemen's art to 'girls' sport.' With a focus on masculinity, Mary Louise Adams examines how skating's evolving gender identity has been reflected on the ice and in the media, looking at rules, technique, and style and at ongoing debates about the place of 'art' in sport. Uncovering the little known history of skating, Artistic Impressions shows how ideas about sport, gender, and sexuality have combined to limit the forms of physical expression available to men."--pub. desc. 650 0 $a Figure skating $x History. 650 0 $a Figure skating $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Masculinity in sports. 650 0 $a Effeminacy. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825083236.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=66D677B26A8C11E689525693DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
