Excellent- More about The Lost Lionesses: The incredible story of England’s forgotten trailblazers
The first England women's football team, who took part in the 1971 World Cup, faced injustice and ridicule, but their story is now being told in a new book. The team, hailing from Chiltern Valley football club, was led by a 60-year-old bus driver named Harry and included schoolgirls, bank clerks, and telephonists. Despite their success at the World Cup, they were mocked by the press and their achievements were undermined. Players were banned for three months to two years if they tried to play with another team. 50 years later, the time has come to tell their truth, and this book celebrates the power of a group of women who refused to accept the status quo.
