Towards south-south comparative feminist inquiry: ‘Patriarchal varieties’ and women’s subversive strategies in/through sports in Fiji and Brazil

This research explores the experiences of women playing historically male-dominated sports in two postcolonial countries, Fiji and Brazil, focusing on women's rugby and women's football, respectively. The main goal was to understand how different forms of male dominance, called "varieties of patriarchy," in these societies affect how women challenge and overcome barriers to playing sports.
