This text presents a history of PE in specialist women's colleges. Taking Chelsea College as an extended case study, the book looks back at 100 years of social, political and educational development comparing six women's colleges and tracing their impact on PE teaching. The book also looks at the Heads of colleges, the impact on women's rights with regard to training and professional careers, the development of the PE curriculum, and more the diversification of courses such as sports science and leisure studies.

Reviews for The Challenge of Change in Physical Education

'One hundred years is a long period of time in which to explain the ever changing role of the history of an institution, within the larger debates surrounding the role of women and the changing face of physical education. To look outside the walls of an institution, as well as within it, is a difficult task and Ida Webb has endeavored to accomplish this.' - The Sports Historian
