Synopsis:
The game of football has undergone a revolution in recent years: the rise of the soccerati, the fanzine explosion, players taking to the catwalks and fantasy football teams in the most unlikely of places. And in amongst this, soccer renaissance is a quieter footballing phenomenon - women who follow the game has reached unprecedented heights. In this book, Anne Coddington looks at the many and varied ways in which women have connected with football, past and present. From players' wives to football landladies, from chief executives to matchday hostesses, from die-hard fans to women players, Coddington covers a whole world of female participation and passion in the sport.
From the Back Cover:
From the Egyptian goddess Sekhmet to the Maori Wai-nui and the Navajo Changing Bear Maiden, this unique and inclusive collection takes a fresh, gender-conscious look at myth, folk tale and legend from across the globe.
Divided into sections – the Near East, Europe, Asia, Oceania and America – each part outlines the mythological system of a particular culture, and then goes on to look at female mythic figures and their symbolic meanings, both within the mythic context and the culture as a whole. The result is a wonderfully diverse and insightful companion to the stories which have shaped our modern world.
