From Presence to Participation: Women and Football in Sheffield 1867 - 1921
Nell Farrell, Football History Tour Guide, Sheffield Home of Football
Saturday 14 March, 5pm
Nell's talk explores what women’s relationship with football looked like during football’s earliest organised years in Sheffield, as the game we recognise today was taking shape; how Sheffield hosted two of the earliest recorded games played between two women’s teams; how women’s football blossomed in Sheffield during WW1 and how things were forced to a sudden halt afterwards.
