The Guardian's women's football correspondent traces the sport from crowds of 50,000 in 1920 through the bans that shut it down for fifty years, to the modern professional game. It explains why women's soccer looks young when it is not.
Why we picked it
The 1921 ban is the single fact that explains most of what a parent finds confusing about the women's game today. Wrack lays it out without a lecture.
