The twisty, turny but triumphant rise of women's soccer is one of the most fascinating stories in sports - and women's - history.

From the very birth of the sport in 19th century England, girls and women have always found a way to play - and keeping playing - the sport they love, in spite of the bans, challenges, rules, and backward-looking attitudes.

Fast forward to today and women's soccer is now officially a global powerhouse. It is the most popular women's sport in the world with an ever-growing number of players, supporters, and viewers.

With stunningly adept storytelling and a wealth of historical and up-to-date imagery Girls with Goals tells this fascinating story from its origins in working class England to the worldwide phenomenon it is today.

Whether you are just starting out in your football journey or you are an experienced player who already loves the sport, you'll come to understand women's football in a completely new way through intriguing tales and anecdotes, and meeting important characters in the sport from past and present - including from the perspective of marginalized sportspeople.

A love letter to women's soccer and the female athletes who inspired girls all over the world to pull on their cleats, Girls with Goals will honor the women who fought hard to play the sport they loved and paved the way for athletes playing all women's sports today.

The full story of the history of the women's game has yet to be told for the YA market so Girls with Goals is a book that every young soccer lover needs on their shelf.
