From Clare McEwen, Writer for The Women's Football Magazine Once silenced, now celebrated, women's football has risen from grassroots to glory over the past hundred years. Maybe you were told "girls don't play football"? Maybe seeing a young girl proudly wearing her idol's name emblazoned on her football shirt brings a tear to your eye? Or maybe you've wondered how women's football went from being played in front of one woman and her dog to selling out Wembley Stadium? This book will take you on a journey from the sidelines to the centre circle of the history of women's football. Discover why women were banned from playing. Learn how a girl writing to a newspaper helped spark the Women's FA Cup. And hear the inspiring stories of trailblazing women who paved the way for football's current stars. With heartfelt anecdotes and real-life stories from ex-Lionesses, "She Can Kick It" offers a captivating and easy-to-read account of the amazing rise of women's football across the world. From young women who defied the odds to today's superstars, this book is a tribute to the passion, resilience, and love of the game that has united generations of women. Clare herself fell in love with football in the 1980s. Watching the Lionesses play at Wembley 35-years later brought up a bucketload of emotions. Driven by these emotions and a need to understand the game's hidden history, she set out on a journey [or quest] to uncover the stories of the women who made it possible. This book is the result.
