'Motherhood, ambition and risk': Mediating the sporting hero/ine in conservative Britain

Article Abstract:

The death of Hargreaves continues to be debated in the context of the appropriateness of women in risk-taking sports and the persistence of cultural boundaries and limitations on extreme behavior. It is observed that by Hargreaves entering into a public realm, her commitment to her family did not diminish and there is a need to re-evaluate gender bias, the governing narratives and archetypal images of the British hero mediated through the ages.
