Radicalised by FIFA Football, History and Feminism

What happens when a country girl with a love of animals and a strong sense of justice finds herself at the crossroads of global sport, academic institutions, and feminist politics?In this searing and insightful memoir, Jean Williams traces her unlikely journey from her childhood farm to the frontlines of women's football and academia. With sharp wit and uncompromising clarity, she exposes the historical sidelining of women in sport, the cultural machinery of FIFA, and the everyday sexism that infects both the playing field and the lecture hall.Radicalised by FIFA blends personal story with political critique to chart the evolution of women's football and the ongoing battle for equality, visibility, and ethical integrity in sport. It is bold, challenging, often darkly funny, and tells the story of someone who refuses to play by the rules.
