untold stories of women's soccer
  • Oxenham, Gwendolyn
2017
"[A collection of true stories from] inside the world of women's soccer, following players across the globe, from Portland Thorns star Allie Long, who trains in an underground men's league in New York City; to English national Fara Williams, who hid her homelessness from her teammates while playing for the English national team. Oxenham takes us to Voronezh, Russia, where players battle more than just snowy pitches in pursuing their dream of playing pro, and to a refugee camp in Denmark, where Nadia Nadim, ... a Danish international star, honed her skills after her family fled from the Taliban"--Provided by publisher.
