What The Reviewers Say

Fiona Skillen,
The Times Literary Supplement (UK)
... pulls together stories across a period of more than 140 years into a compelling narrative.
Paula Cocozza,
The Guardian (UK)
Fascinating connections emerge from this history.
Mary Hannigan,
The Irish Times (IRE)
[Wrack] includes several pearls of press reports from the earliest days, including the Standard’s editorial, that give a flavour of the derision and hostility that greeted the pioneers of women’s football.
Melanie Reid,
The Times (UK)
This is a political book. Suzanne Wrack is The Guardian’s women’s football correspondent and her focus is the misogyny that runs, an unbreakable thread, through the history and development of the women’s game.
