Can we truly call football England's 'national' game? How have we arrived at this point of such clear inequality between men's and women's football?
Between 1921 and 1972, women were banned from playing in football League grounds in the UK. Yet in 1998 FIFA declared that "the future is feminine" and that football was the fastest growing sport for women globally.
The result of several years of original research, the book traces the continuities in women's participation since the beginnings of the game, and highlights the significant moments that have influenced...

A Beautiful Game, supported by a two-year FIFA/ CIES Joao Havelange Research Scholarship, examines...
