Features a collection of essays that contributes knowledge on women's football. This work deals with historical aspects of the game, equality issues, and experiences of those involved. It also looks at individual topics such as the 2005 UEFA Women's Championships, and the issues affecting the development of the women's game in England and Europe.

It is undeniable that Association football is a global game with huge popularity. Yet what is known as 'women's football' receives far less support, financial assistance, media coverage and academic attention than the men's game. Consequently the story of women's football remains largely untold and its potential as a sports-related discussion is yet to be fulfilled. "Women, Football and Europe" is a collection of essays that contributes new knowledge on women's football. Volume 1 deals with historical aspects of the game, equality issues, and the experiences of those involved, while volume 2 looks at individual topics such as the 2005 UEFA Women's Championships, the pressures and constraints on female coaches, and the key issues affecting the development of the women's game in England and Europe.

Jonathan Magree is the Chair of the Operational Group at the International Football Institute, and Senior Lecturer in the Sport and Leisure Division at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan).
