A Woman’s Game by Suzanne Wrack

A lively social and sporting history that traces the origins of women’s football, its wartime popularity, the 1921 FA ban and decades of marginalization, and the grassroots resilience, activism and cultural shifts that led to professionalization, growing media attention and the surge of major tournaments in the 21st century; combining archival research, interviews and match storytelling, it highlights the players, fans and campaigners who challenged sexism and helped build the modern game.
