Before Mary Earps, Jess Fishlock and Lucy Bronze, a generation of trailblazing women's footballers defied the odds. In 1921, the FA banned women from playing football in England, but these rebels refused to quit. Leaving behind jobs, families and their homeland, they travelled across Europe in search of professional opportunities. This groundbreaking book uncovers their untold stories: the original Lioness who started a new life in the Netherlands as a teenager, the first woman of colour to play for England, the girl who turned down international recognition to play in Italy.

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.

With the triumph of England's Lionesses at Euro 2022, the women's game has been in the spotlight like never before, enjoying unprecedented media attention. But this is the result of decades of struggle to get women's football–banned by the English FA for fifty years–on a more equal footing to its male counterpart.
