Women have faced an uphill climb in the sporting world. This book reveals the history of soccer for women around the world and their hopes and triumphs and unfair setbacks. Unbelievably, men espoused that if women played sports it could damage to their fertility.
Creative layout and colorful pages and pictures make the information easily accessible. This book is a good reminder of how far women have come in sports and how difficult their journey has been. Women from all major soccer playing countries are spotlighted, and readers might be fascinated to learn that it was actually against the law for women to play soccer in Brazil in 1941. I read it cover to cover and would recommend it to anyone who likes soccer, or is working to achieve their goals.
