Summary note
"Analyses the experiences of young sporting women with physical impairments. Taking phenomenology as a point of departure, Elisabet Apelmo explores how the young women handle living with a body which, on the one hand, is viewed as deviant--the disabled body--and, on the other, is viewed as accomplished--the sporting body. A polarization is apparent between the weak, which is manifested through the expression of belonging as 'we', and the strong individual."--Page 4 of cover.
