CARRIE DUNN SIGNINGS: REIGN OF THE LIONESSES

After another fantastic summer of football from England's Lionesses, author Carrie Dunn marks the publication of her new book with a series of signings.

The Reign of the Lionesses - out on Wednesday, the same day as Sarina Wiegman's team face Australia in the Women's World Cup semi-final - is the third in Dunn's series exploring the world of women's football throughout the English pyramid.

And she will be signing books at Waterstones in Wolverhampton from 1pm on Saturday 19th August.

She will also be be talking and answering questions at Birmingham Waterstones on Tuesday 29th August from 5.30pm, with tickets on sale now.

The Reign of the Lionesses
Acclaimed author Carrie Dunn, one of the most respected voices in women’s football, brings us a unique insight into a fast-growing and massively popular sport at a crucial moment. This is the third book in Dunn’s popular series exploring the women’s football pyramid.

The Lionesses' famous triumph, beating old rivals Germany at Wembley to become European champions, gave them a platform to call on the world to do better when it comes to women's football – to give girls equal opportunities to boys, and to lift up inspiring female role models. But was it too little too late?

While Women's Super League matches sold out if they could guarantee a gold-medal-winning Lioness, the rest of the pyramid still had their own challenges to face. From training pitches to home stadia, from sponsorship to electricity bills, women all over England continued to fight a battle that had been going on for more than a century – to be treated as footballers, not second-class citizens.

This is the story of the season after the summer before. Click here for more information.

The Pride of the Lionesses (2019)
While England's Lionesses headed to France for the 2019 Women's World Cup as superstars in search of silverware, FA upheavals back home were moving the goalposts for the newly all-pro elite teams, for part-timers and amateurs alike. Is women's football in England actually growing from top to bottom - or is it just another slick PR campaign?

The Roar of the Lionnesses (2016)
Millions watched during the 2015 Women's World Cup as England's Lionesses captured the bronze medal as well as the hearts of a nation. Carrie Dunn follows some of the most famous - and not so famous - female footballers in the country over the course of the year after the amazing campaign in Canada, and looks ahead to the game's future.
