A TIMES SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR LONGLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL
SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR 'A truly important book.' MEGAN RAPINOE
'Hardhitting and clear sighted.' THE TIMES 'Impassioned . . .
joyous.' SPECTATOR DISCOVER THE STORY OF THE WOMEN WHO PAVED THE
WAY FOR THE LIONESSES This is the astonishing history of women's
football: from the game's first appearance in England in the late
nineteenth century to the incredible teams that at their height
drew 53,000 spectators to Goodison Park, through to its fifty-year
ban in the UK and the aftershocks when restrictions were lifted.
Following the game's meteoric rise in recent years, Suzanne Wrack
considers what the next chapter of this incredible story might -
and should - be. 'A thoroughly entertaining and enlightening read.'
CLARE BALDING 'A fantastic book on how the game has developed and
what its future could hold.' PHIL NEVILLE 'A compelling narrative .
. . The history of the women's game has been long overlooked. This
book celebrates it, and the teams and individuals who helped the
sport develop into today's nationally and internationally
recognized phenomenon.' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT 'Wrack is
something of a trailblazer herself . . . few would be better placed
to write its history.' IRISH TIMES
Overpower. Overtake. Overcome. – Serena Williams Throughout

player, Betty Chapman, to the iconic 'Battle of the Sexes' match
won by Billie Jean King, and from trans trailblazer Laurel Hubbard
to Emma Raducanu's unforgettable US Open win, award-winning sports
journalist Suzanne Wrack celebrates sporting giants at the absolute
top of their games.
