Football is the most popular sport in the United States - for men and boys. Yet many fans may be surprised to learn that women have also been playing football for nearly fifty years. A comprehensive history of women's football had never been written before...until now
The Women's Football Encyclopedia is the first authoritative history ever compiled about the under-publicized sport of women's football. After nearly three years of research, author Neal Rozendaal has delivered the greatest reference on women's football ever published.
Football fans will find the following information and statistics - unavailable in any other publication - contained in The Women's Football Encyclopedia
- Game-by-game and year-by-year results for nearly 300 women's football teams
- Over 5,000 individual game results
- A chronological season-by-season history of the sport
- Yearly standings for 16 former and current women's football leagues
- A classification system for all league and national champions
- A listing of several women's football team records
- Franchise player registers with the names of over 10,000 female football players
Also included are chapters on the "first era" of women's football from 1967-1985, the perversion of the sport known as lingerie football, and the explosive growth of women's football abroad. With over 400 pages of data collected in one place for the first time, The Women's Football Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive source of information ever assembled on the other half of America's greatest sport.
