With an estimated 26 million female players globally (6 million based in Europe), the evolution of football has been dramatic. Growth in the women’s game has led to more widespread player migration as new forms of professionalism emerge. This work explores those patterns of movement into, and out of, Europe using new archival evidence and player interviews.
Jean Williams has written extensively on the history of women’s football since publishing A Game For Rough Girls in 2003. She is a Senior Research Fellow in the International Centre for Sports History and Culture at De Monfort University Leicester. She is currently completing a history of British women Olympians.
