international perspectives on women's football
"A Beautiful Game examines contemporary women's football internationally, with case studies from England, the United States, China and Australia. Author Jean Williams considers the evolution of the women's game against a backdrop of issues, such as media representation, access to facilities, lack of resources, coaching, sponsorship, talent identification, training and professionalisation. The author examines contentious questions, such as why women are absent from the highest levels of professional football, combining source material from archives, oral history and artefacts."--BOOK JACKET.
