England women's football team are the reigning European champions and are the second favourites to win the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup behind only the United States.
Women's football is flourishing in England, but it has taken fifty years - since the Football Association's ban on women playing the sport was lifted in 1971 - just for the sport to get back to where it was a hundred years ago.
So in this documentary, HITC Sevens takes a look at why football was banned in the United Kingdom in 1921, the hurdles that women's football in Britain and beyond has had to overcome, and the 1920s mindset that still afflicts some people more than a century on.
