A complete history of women's football, from its Victorian games
beginning in 1881, to the plans for England to host the Euro Finals
in England 2022, this book demonstrates how women's football began
as a professional sport, and has only recently returned to these
professional roots in the UK. This is because there was a
fifty-year Football Association 'ban' on women playing on pitches
affiliated to the governing body in England. The other British
associations followed suit. Why was women's football banned in
1921? Why did it take until 1969 for a Women's Football Association
to form? Why did it take until 1995 for England to qualify for a
Women's World Cup? Answers to these key questions are supplemented
across the chapters by personal accounts of the players who defied
the ban, at home and abroad, along with the personal costs, and
rewards, of being footballing pioneers.
