🎧 Women & Football
Archive of Dan Snow's History Hit 🎧 • 43m
Football, or soccer depending on where you are in the world, is quite unsuitable for women, wouldn’t you agree? No? Well the Football Association thought so when they issued a ban on women’s football in 1921, which stayed in place for fifty years
Off the back of England's Lionesses winning the Euros (it's also the 20th anniversary of Bend It Like Beckham, which must mean something) Kate is joined by The Guardian's women's football correspondent, Suzanne Wrack, to talk about the rise and fall, and rise again of women's football.
Hear about the factory girls of World War One, meet some of the early stars like Nettie Honeyball, and find out why it became just so political.
