Before Mary Earps, Jess Fishlock and Lucy Bronze, a generation of trailblazing women's footballers defied the odds. In 1921, the FA banned women from playing football in England, but these rebels refused to quit. Leaving behind jobs, families and their homeland, they travelled across Europe in search of professional opportunities. This groundbreaking book uncovers their untold stories: the original Lioness who started a new life in the Netherlands as a teenager, the first woman of colour to play for England, the girl who turned down international recognition to play in Italy.

Paper tigers are the thoughts and experiences that conjure up dread, but that don’t present any real danger. Missed deadlines, traffic jams, conflict with a loved one, and arguments with the boss create the same physiological responses in the human body that our ancestors experienced when they were stalked by predators on the plains. The Paper Tiger Syndrome is a guidebook on the journey of healing and self-repair, which demonstrates that the most direct way to overcome fear, stress, and trauma in your life is to regulate your physical body.
