Description
From the author of Unsuitable for Females, shortlisted for The Sunday Times Football Book of the Year 2023
One of the most prolific writers about womens football in the UK EVENING STANDARD
Before Mary Earps, Jess Fishlock, and Lucy Bronze, there were the trailblazers who defied the odds.
In 1921, the FA banned women from playing football, but these rebels refused to quit. Leaving behind jobs, families, and their homeland, they sought opportunities abroad, where they could turn pro and pursue their dreams.
This book uncovers the untold stories of those pioneering British women who paved the way for todays stars. Through their reflections, we explore their extraordinary journeys, the evolution of womens football, and the dreams they still hold for the future.
