A former pro travels the women's game and reports it player by player, from a Portland striker to players in Brazil, Japan, Iran and rural England. Each chapter is a life, not a highlight reel.
Why we picked it
It shows what a professional women's career actually looks like day to day, including the second jobs and the bus rides. A teen who says she wants to go pro will learn more here than from any highlight account.
