Description

The Matilda Effect is a story about the Australian women's football team and their struggle for equality in international competitions. From the early days when participation was restricted to those who could afford it, to the 2019 breakthrough when equal pay was finally accepted, this book takes you on a journey through the highs and lows of the team's history. You'll hear from key figures as they share their experiences, both on and off the pitch. The Matilda Effect is not just about sport, but also about human rights and gender equality - a story that will take you out of the stands and into the heart of the team's fight for change. Through interviews, stories, and behind-the-scenes insights, this book brings to life the triumphs and challenges faced by the Matildas and their fellow women footballers as they pushed for recognition and respect.
