In 2011 the FA Women’s Super League was created, affording female footballers the opportunity to practice the sport professionally for the first time in English football history.
Today we’re joined by Dr Alex Culvin to discuss the lived realities for women currently competing in the Women’s Super League.
Women footballers are competing in an occupational field that is traditionally the preserve of a highly masculine and consequently gender-exclusive culture. Alex’s own experiences as a professional footballer shaped her research aims, particularly the focus on employment and the welfare of players.
We discuss:
What mental health support is there for women in the game?
With women footballers expected to feel ‘grateful’ for the opportunities now afforded and pay parity with men a long way off, might industrial action and striking be a possibility in the near future?
How may the women’s game develop in future?
…all this and more in the 31st episode of the Football and Society podcast.
