Legendary Lionesses

This is the first academic history of the FA England women-s national football team. Based on unprecedented access to FA data, it details the careers of the 227 women who debuted for England from 1972 to 2022. England won the UEFA Women-s Euros in 2022, and Jean worked with Sarina Wiegman and the squad, on the Legendary Lionesses from 1972.

Jean Williams published A Game for Rough Girls? A History of Women's Football in England, in 2003. She subsequently published A Beautiful Game: International Perspectives on Women's Football (2007), and Globalising Women's Football: Europe, Migration and Professionalisation 1971-2011 (2013).
