520    Women's football is one of the fastest growing sports in 
       the world, with over 30 million girls and women playing 
       the game. Three million people watched England defeat 
       France at the European Championships in 2017 on TV and in 
       the United States over 25 million people tuned in for the 
       2015 World Cup Final victory - the most-watched football 
       match in US history. Kieran Theivam and Jeff Kassouf 
       detail the most incredible tales from previous Women's 
       World Cups to create a wonderful composite view of the 
       women's game. The FIFA Women's World Cup in France kicks 
       off on 7th June 2019 in Paris and will conclude one month 
       later in Lyon. This will be the eighth Women's World Cup, 
       with the first tournament having taken place in 1991. The 
       book covers topics such as Michelle Akers, playing through
       the pain; the early years, including the 1996 Olympics; 
       the US team's World Cup triumph on home soil in 1999; 
       Germany's dominant years between 2003 and 2007; superstar 
       Marta; Kelly Smith and the Golden Boot that changed the 
       game in England in 2007; how Japan's team brought the 
       first smiles to that country since the devastating 
       tsunami; the beginnings of Australia's golden generation; 
       the 122nd-minute USA-Brazil quarter-final equalizer; and 
       the Laura Bassett own goal that broke English hearts and 
       brought them together at the same time.
