Synopsis

From Clare McEwen, writer for The New Women's Sport Magazine and The Women’s Football Magazine

Once silenced, now celebrated, women’s football has risen from grassroots to glory over the past 100 years.

She Can Kick It will take you on a journey from the sidelines to the centre circle of the history of women's football. Discover why the FA banned women 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 (and men) who paved the way for the world's current stars.

With heartfelt anecdotes and real-life stories from former Lionesses, She Can Kick It offers a captivating and easy-to-read account of the fantastic 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 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 to uncover the stories of the women who made it possible. This book is the result.




"With a passion for the game and a natural ability to tell the currently unknown stories, I was not surprised when I found out that Clare was planning on writing a book. Her own personal interest in learning more about the sport has led to discoveries of amazing untold tales which deserve to be heard from years gone by. With her own passion and the power in which she writes, there is nobody better to cover a history of the game." ~ Helen Rowe-Willcocks
