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
