Synopsis

A written celebration of #HerGameToo – a movement and organisation that fights sexism in football.

*With foreword by Tracey Crouch MP*

Since football’s early days, women have been excluded, with those brave enough to participate, either as fans or players, beset by misogynistic attitudes if not outright abuse. While we've seen great strides made in the battle for respect and inclusion, sadly there's still a long way to go.

In Her Game Too, Matt Riley provides a platform for the key voices in the movement, galvanised around HerGameToo, an organisation run by female fans to fight sexism in football.

Key voices include:

  • HerGameToo founders Caz May and Lucy Food
  • HerGameToo director Natalie Atkinson
  • Helen Nkwocha, the first woman to coach a top-flight men’s team in Europe

The book also examines how FIFA can lead the way to equality, diversity and inclusion, explores the roots of the movement with the story of pioneering female footballer Lily Parr, and sheds light on the future, which has looked increasingly bright since Premier League side Everton pledged its support to HerGameToo.

Her Game Too is a call to arms for women to be given equal access to profile, opportunities and advancement in the beautiful game.
