Dyke Dynamos – Women in Sports Article

Dorothy Kidd’s 1983 article in Pink Ink explores the evolution of all-women’s sports teams and attitudes towards lesbianism in sport across Canada, drawing in part from her own experience as a lesbian in sport. The article features analysis of the commercialization of women’s sports, women and lesbian community-building through sport, homophobia and discrimination by leagues and players, reclamation of terminology (“dyke”), and feminism.
