Beschreibung

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.

Über den Autor

Professor Jean Williams is a prominent international writer specialising in the history of sport, with a focus on gender relations, governance, and the professionalisation of women's sport. In 2003, Jean published A Game for Rough Girls and has since authored seven books, curated exhibitions and written numerous journalistic pieces. Her most recent work is Legendary Lionesses: the History of the England Women's Football Team 1972-2022 (2024). She has curated content with FIFA, UEFA, the English FA, and other sports organisations to bring history to a wider audience and has transitioned into feature documentaries, scriptwriting and television content. She has her own line of trademarked clothing [...] that was showcased at the Women's World Cup in Australia 2023 and a limited edition will be available at the Euros 2025. A keen swimmer, and occasional triathlete, Jean has taken up tennis after a 30-year hiatus, more with enthusiasm than success.
