Finally a book whose time has come: a comprehensive and authoritative centenary history of women’s Australian Rules football by the country’s two foremost experts in the women’s game. For a century, women have been playing Australian Rules football, but who knew? These days, 200,000 girls and women play Australian Rules football, and the AFL is backing the formation of a women’s league in 2017, but it’s been a hard fought battle to get where we are today. This original history investigates the barriers and discrimination that female players have had to overcome, and the rich heritage and remarkable resilience that have been a hallmark of their code.
