Rezensionen

"The book provides insight into the complex network of gendered experiences that can be part of playing and spectating football. ... Female Football Players and Fans there for is an important contribution to increasing the knowledge and raising awareness of women's football, and perhaps encouraging people to question their own preconceptions and understandings of this sport."
