The topics including race, gender, history and sexual orientation play major roles in women's participation in sport. Women‘s participation in sport can create a substantial contribution to social life and tradition development. Throughout the history of sport, it has been known that the arena of sport is mainly male dominated. Since time immemorial, the society has constructed the order that it seems natural where man belongs to marketplace, woman belongs to household chores, woman the mistress of domesticity, man the master of all else, man the rational thinker, woman the guardian of morals, man dominant, and woman subordinate. Although it is believed that the status of women in North East India is comparatively better than that of mainstream India and since ancient times women have been playing a vital role in contributing to the peace and progress of the region. Many inspirational women from the region have been pioneers and leaders, breaking gender barriers and making considerable progress in diverse fields. The path towards success is no bed of roses for womenfolk especially when it comes to sports. Besides, one's racial or ethnic background greatly shapes the experience they may have in sport. One of such inspirational woman who has carved a niche is Mary Kom, hails from Manipur whose contribution is immense in the field of sports. This paper will specifically focus on the struggles that she has faced during her sports career which is reflected in her autobiography entitled Unbreakable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

However, one situation comedy, broadcast by the BBC between 1974 and 1977, stands out with its cast of believable characters moving seamlessly between quickfire wit, philosophical discourse, and often heart-wrenching pathos. Weight's argument is very clear and convincing to those of us who love the show: Fletcher did not care about anyone's race, colour, or sexual preferences. Weight has written a fascinating account of one of Britain's best loved sitcoms. [Extracted from the article]

The article offers poetry criticism of the poem "Love Song to the Demon-Possessed Pigs of Gadara" by William Fargason. It explores the use of metaphor, rhythm, and the aesthetics of stanzas.

Though not the first to defend Marx's critique of capital's fundamentally exploitative logic against such rejoinders, Søren Mau does so in an unusual and intriguing manner. Some might note that Mau explores well-known ground: that Marx had already surveyed capital's exploitative social geography, and many others have trodden it since. Through the "normal" workings of these inherently exploitative production relations, capital not only produces surplus-value but also, and in so doing, reproduces its own power and dominion.

The article discusses two books: Alvin Ailey: A Life in Dance, by Jennifer Dunning; The Joffrey Ballet: Robert Jaffrey and the Making of an American Dance Company, by Sasha Anawalt. Jennifer Dunning's Alvin Ailey and Sasha Anawalt's The Joffrey Ballet go a long way toward answering questions related to racism, sexual orientation, and career of dancers. Of the two, Dunning's is more satisfying, a work by a longtime New York Times critic that unravels the complicated weave of Ailey's private and professional life with knowledge, skill and tact. Anawalt's book, the first by this California-based dance writer, is considerably less expert. Not only can it be glib, it often loses sight of its subject.

First, Hardwick's "archive of reproduction" is not the usual kind of archive often employed in histories of sexuality, with their emphasis on illicit or criminal sex. Hardwick's analysis highlights how sex shaped women's and men's lives differently, while also acknowledging how community investment in the outcome provided women with some opportunity to exert control over their intimate lives. Delving into the "archive of reproduction", Hardwick presents a world where sex between young people stood very much at the center, not only of the lives of the couple themselves but also of the broader community (6).
