A history charting the rise, fall, and rise again of women's soccer from "The Guardian's" sports journalist.
What The Reviewers Say
... pulls together stories across a period of more than 140 years into a compelling narrative.
Fascinating connections emerge from this history.
[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.
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.
