Books
A comprehensive look a women's football. With the men away at war 1914-1917, most factory workers were women, and many factories had a ladies' football team. By 1920, football was a major spectator sport, but in 1921 an FA resolution banned women from all professional football grounds. It wasn't until 1971 that the ban was lifted. This is the missing chapter in the history of football.
