"The global professionalisation of women's football has gathered momentum in the twenty first century, and professional women footballers are now more prevalent and evident in cultures around the world. Despite increased professionalisation and record-breaking viewing and participation figures for women's football, there are persistent challenges for women in the game. Professional football is now a viable career opportunity for women globally; however, as Women's Football in a Global, Professional Erademonstrates, there are pressing issues and unanswered questions that remain in the game. In this collection, a range of scholars contribute research covering three key areas as women's football shifts into a global, professional era: issues surrounding the historical development of professional women's football, documentation of the lived experiences of women in an emerging professional space and, finally, discussions around commercialisation and media coverage of the sport. Women's Football in a Global, Professional Erais an important addition to discussions on sport as work for women, and an essential reference point for students, researchers and sports professionals interested in the debates around the professionalisation of women's football internationally."--

FIFA, the world governing body of association football, declared 'The Future is Feminine' in a 1995 press release. Since then, football has been claimed as the fastest growing participation sport for women globally. An estimated twenty million women play the game around the world, and that figure is on the rise. However, the history of women's participation goes back to at least 1895 and in our enthusiasm for the present, the memory of that longer history can be overlooked or forgotten. A Beautiful Game examines contemporary women's football internationally, with case studies from England, the United States, China and Australia. In each case study, Jean Williams considers the evolution of the women's game against a backdrop of issues, such as media representation, access to facilities, lack of resources, coaching, sponsorship, talent identification, training and professionalisation. The author examines contentious questions, such as why women are absent from the highest levels of professional football, combining source material from archives, oral history and artefacts. A Beautiful Game analyses the status and image of the women's game from the late nineteenth century to the shifting social values of the present.

"Rien, dans les 17 règles du football codifiées par l’International Football Association Board en 1886 et toujours en vigueur, ne dit que les femmes ne peuvent pas y jouer. Pourtant l’histoire du football féminin est loin d’avoir été un long fleuve tranquille : s’il a eu ses heures de gloire après la Première Guerre mondiale, il est retombé dans l’anonymat jusqu’aux années 1960 avant de redevenir aujourd’hui l’objet de beaucoup d’intérêts. La coupe du monde en France en 2019, de par son succès populaire et économique, a sans doute été un tournant dans l’histoire de ce sport. L’évènement est sorti du cadre sportif en suscitant diverses polémiques, notamment celle des inégalités de revenus entre footballeurs et footballeuses. Mais en France comme ailleurs, alors que les sélections nationales semblent avoir trouvé leur public, les meilleurs clubs n’enthousiasment que rarement les foules : financièrement, comparé à son homologue masculin, le football féminin demeure une très petite "affaire". Ce livre fournit les outils d’analyse pour mieux comprendre l’économie du football féminin et envisager son développement"
