Over the past few years, my life has changed significantly. In those years prior, I was a hurting, lonely, autistic woman, who felt there was no place in the world where she belonged. In the present I can claim to now be a strong woman, growing in confidence, yet still autistic - who realizes that the world is a wonderful thing to be part of. Where my challenges may sometimes be unique, for the most part they are common to many people. Where my perspective may sometimes be unique, I can only hope that sharing it may possibly allow others to see things in a new light, to join me in looking at the world through eyes of hope and possibility. There is no order or logic in how these thoughts, poems and pictures are presented. I hope that there are those out there who might appreciate and enjoy them as my wishes to share my heart with all of you.

A complete history of women's football, from its Victorian games beginning in 1881, to the plans for England to host the Euro Finals in England 2022, this book demonstrates how women's football began as a professional sport, and has only recently returned to these professional roots in the UK. This is because there was a fifty-year Football Association 'ban' on women playing on pitches affiliated to the governing body in England. The other British associations followed suit.Why was women's football banned in 1921? Why did it take until 1969 for a Women's Football Association to form? Why did it take until 1995 for England to qualify for a Women's World Cup? Answers to these key questions are supplemented across the chapters by personal accounts of the players who defied the ban, at home and abroad, along with the personal costs, and rewards, of being footballing pioneers.

This is the first academic history of the FA England women¿s national football team.

"With the phenomenal success of the England Football team at the Euros 2022, this book meets the renewed interest in women in sport. It provides a fascinating overview of the history of women in sport from centuries past to the present day, demonstrating the leaps forward that sportswomen have taken since 1945, as well as an inspiring account of great female Paralympians. The 25 profiles of incredible female pioneers and legends evidence the grit and determination required to challenge discrimination, to break records and demolish outdated notions of the weaker sex. The recent investment in women's sports, as seen for football, rugby and cricket, has driven greater popularity and success. This book also includes a wonderful selection of interviews with over 25 women competing in a wide range of sports today, as well as leading figures in the industry, coaches, referees, presenters, and broadcasters."--Publisher marketing.
