Bookshelf: Against the Elements (Chapter 12)

 

         






Against the Elements: The Eruption of Icelandic Football (Matt McGinn)

Chapter 12: Our Girls

McGinn focuses on women's soccer in Iceland, specifically the women's national team's successes qualifying for major tournaments in 2009, 2013, and 2017. 

He also puts the country's opportunities and successes in women's soccer within the context of the women's rights movement in Iceland since a national strike in October 1975 gradually led to the country becoming "demonstrably, the best place in the world to be a woman."
