Local histories of women’s football offer new perspectives on the game
Histories of Women’s Football in Britain and Ireland, edited by Fiona Skillen, Helena Byrne and Gary James (Peter Lang Publishing) brings together a range of researchers to explore the growth and development of the women’s game in Britain and Ireland. Hans Bolling has read a book that sheds new light on a phenomenon for which interest has increased significantly during the 21st century and also highlights forgotten and/or ignored pioneers. Reading the book from cover to cover it may seem repetitive, but that also means that each chapter can be read on its own.
