I’ve not had chance to talk about this yet but a book I co-edited with Fiona Skillen and Helena Byrne on the history of women’s football in Britain and Ireland has been recognised at an international awards. To gain international recognition at a major sports history conference in North America is some achievement. Thanks to all those who contributed chapters to the book and thanks to NASSH and the awards committee for this recognition. It truly is remarkable. Thanks.
We’ve had a couple of launch events for the book in London and Dublin which were attended by female footballers from the UK and Ireland who played in the 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond. The book is an academic book and is not the cheapest so if you’re interested in reading it then maybe seek out a copy at your local library. For any library, university or other organisation interested in the book then details are here:
