Author and sports journalist Suzanne Wrack traces the history of women's football, including its early success, its post-war suppression, and its increasing popularity today.

If women's football had never been banned, where would it be today?

For half a century, women's football was prohibited across much of the globe. Having risen to fame in Britain in World War I, the women's game was swiftly suppressed after the war ended, halting its development.

Suzanne Wrack is a British author and women's football writer for the Guardian newspaper.

In A Woman's Game, Wrack explores the history of women's football, with a particular focus on the past century, to explain its early success in England, its sudden ban in 1921, and its global resurgence today.
