Women in professional cycling: diminishing 'outsider' status and shifting sources of shame

.

Chapter 9 in Power, Pain and Professional Cycling, 2024, pp 143-160 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter considers how the sources of power which Elias (1987) and Dunning (1999) identified as central in changing the power relation between men and women in a less unequal direction, might underpin specific changes in the sport of professional cycling. The emergence of less unequal power relations has contributed to changes in thresholds of shame, the removal of shame feelings, and changes in the source of shame feelings. The chapter also illustrates how the legacy of stigmatising effects on women, which can reside in the habitus for some time and continue to generate shame feelings, can limit new power chances opened-up by less unequal power relations.
