About

A Woman's Game is the story of the rise, fall, and rise again of women's football: from its first appearance in England in the late nineteenth century, through the heyday of incredible teams that drew--at their height in 1920--53,000 spectators to Goodison Park, to its fifty-year ban in the UK and the aftershocks when restrictions were lifted.

Now, as the women's game is once again on an unstoppable upward trend, with internationally renowned players and a record 11.7 million viewers for the England v. USA World Cup semi-final in 2019, Suzanne Wrack considers what the next chapter of this incredible story might be. From its relationship to the worldwide fight against oppression to its ability to inspire change in the wider worlds, this is both a history of football as played by women and a manifesto for a better game.
