Comment est né le football féminin en Angleterre ? Par ce hasard qui ne fait jamais rien au hasard. Le 6 avril 1917, à la pause déjeuner de l'usine de munitions Doyle & Walkers, à Sheffield, Royaume-Uni, Violet Chapman, ouvrière, prise d'une inspiration subite, donne un coup de pied dans l'espèce de balle qui se trouve au milieu de la cour en briques rouges de 330 pieds de long par 240 pieds de largeur. Aussitôt, les dix autres femmes présentes lâchent leur casse-croûte et se lèvent du muret où elles étaient assises en rang d'oignons pour se mettre à courir aussi. Ce simple coup de pied aurait pu les tuer. Car la balle est un prototype de bombe légère destiné à calculer la trajectoire de chute, avant de massacrer l'ennemi. Mais la bombe n'explose pas. C'est leur coeur qui explose. Ce coup de pied vient de leur sauver la vie, à toutes. Elles jouent pendant plus d'une demi-heure. Et recommencent le lendemain. Et encore, et encore. Jusqu'à jouer dans un vrai stade, jusqu'à affronter des professionnels ! Jusqu'à ce que les hommes - patron, chéris, papas - mettent leur véto à cette passion, à cette obsession, à cette libération.

"This book presents a cross-disciplinary examination of the lived experiences of girls and women football players using theoretical insights from sports studies, psychology, sociology and gender studies. It examines the concept of 'the football self' - your own, personal football identity that encapsulates the importance of football to our everyday live - and what that can tell us about the complex relationships between sport, family, gender and identity. The book draws on in-depth ethnographic research involving players and family members, and offers important new insights into the everyday experiences of those girls and women who play. It breaks new ground in focusing on the significant relationships between player and family with a particular focus on parenting through football. The book brings to the fore key debates around gender identity, barriers to participation, cultural gaps and discrimination. The author also brings a personal perspective to bear, drawing on experience gained over twenty years as a player, adding an extra critical layer to her important empirical research. This is essential reading for all researchers and students with an interest in football, sport studies or issues around gender, inclusion or the family in sport, and fascinating reading for anybody with a general interest in football"--

Women's football is one of the fastest growing sports in the world, with over 30 million girls and women playing the game. Three million people watched England defeat France at the European Championships in 2017 on TV and in the United States over 25 million people tuned in for the 2015 World Cup Final victory - the most-watched football match in US history. Kieran Theivam and Jeff Kassouf detail the most incredible tales from previous Women's World Cups to create a wonderful composite view of the women's game. The FIFA Women's World Cup in France kicks off on 7th June 2019 in Paris and will conclude one month later in Lyon. This will be the eighth Women's World Cup, with the first tournament having taken place in 1991. The book covers topics such as Michelle Akers, playing through the pain; the early years, including the 1996 Olympics; the US team's World Cup triumph on home soil in 1999; Germany's dominant years between 2003 and 2007; superstar Marta; Kelly Smith and the Golden Boot that changed the game in England in 2007; how Japan's team brought the first smiles to that country since the devastating tsunami; the beginnings of Australia's golden generation; the 122nd-minute USA-Brazil quarter-final equalizer; and the Laura Bassett own goal that broke English hearts and brought them together at the same time.
