Description
Discover the origins of the Lionesses that brought football home. England's Lionesses are on the
front and back pages; their stars feature on prime-time television; they are named in the national
honours lists for their contribution to their sport and to society. The names of Lucy Bronze, Steph
Houghton and Ellen White are emblazoned across the backs of children’s replica jerseys. These
women are top athletes – and top celebrities. But in 1921, the Football Association introduced a
ban on women’s football, pronouncing the sport 'quite unsuitable for females'.That ban would last
for half a century - but despite official prohibition the women’s game went underground. From the
Dick, Kerr Ladies touring the world to the Lost Lionesses who played at the unsanctioned
Women's World Cup in Mexico in 1971, generations of women defied the restrictions and laid the
foundations for today's Lionesses - so much so that in 2018 England's Women’s Super League
became the first fully professional league in Europe...when just a few decades previously women
were forbidden to play the sport in England at all.This book tells the story of women’s football in
England since its 19th-century inception through pen portraits of its trailblazers. The game might
have once been banned because of its popularity – find out about the subversive women who kept
organising their teams and matches despite the prohibition, who broke barriers and set records –
the legends of the game who built the foundations of the stage upon which today’s stars
flourish.'At what feels like a pivotal moment, Carrie’s forensic research and depth of knowledge
make her the perfect person to guide us through the constantly changing landscape of women’s
football' - Kelly Cates, TV presenter
