Booklist - 05/01/2023 Beginning with the first recorded soccer match for women (Scotland, 1881) and ending with outstanding American players, past and present, this book shows that women’s soccer has come a long way. The U.S. was relatively late to field a competitive national team, but Title IX became a pivot point in sports’ history. From the upbeat introduction to the lively, colorful digital illustrations, the book is charged with enthusiasm for women’s soccer, the history of the U.S. team, its dramatic moments in World Cup competition, and its superstars. On a practical level, Calkhoven also advises beginning players on how to master three basic soccer skills. Her ability to write for newbies as well as knowledgeable fans gives this entry in the You Should Meet transitional-reader series its broad appeal. - Copyright 2023 Booklist.
