Anyone interested in the politics of women in sport should check out the live feed from the International Working Group on Women and Sport conference.
The three-day conference started yesterday, and you can find the links here Watch Conference Live

Some great topics on the agenda including Sport without Fear, and Changing Sports Policies. I'll post later on some of the topics, unfortunately can't watch live due to that thing called work but should be able work get some information for you.

There's also a great session on Friday afternoon looking at what's been achieved in the last 20 years - something we should do more often. Thankfully we have left the days when women were considered too weak to compete behind in most countries.
