Clare McEwen fell in love with football as a girl in the 1980s. She spent countless hours with a ball at her feet but wasn’t allowed to play in a team (although she did briefly try to start her own - another story!). Watching the Lionesses play at Wembley decades later brought up a bucketload of emotions. Driven by these emotions and a need to understand the game’s hidden history, she set out on a journey to uncover the stories of the women who made it possible. During this journey, she began writing for The Women's Football Magazine and coaching her son's football team. And now she has published her first book, She Can Kick It, a history of women's football across the world.
