Reviews
A brilliant read – the ultimate guide to England's history-making Lionesses
With impressive tournament stats, fact and player profiles, this will get readers hyped for the Women’s World Cup.
The Rise of the Lionesses is an excellent, energetic introduction to the history of English women's football. […] This book is an inspirational and informative must-read for football enthusiasts of all ages, especially young girls with athletic aspirations (and their parents and coaches, of course). Flo Lloyd-Hughes does a fantastic job of shining the spotlight on the rise of women's football and the the Lionesses' path to their well-deserved Euro 2022 victory.
Serves as an excellent reminder to girls that they can play football if they want to and that indeed they can do anything they want to.
