18 min - Equal Pay? Any Pay....
The first US WNT got paid about $10 a day to play matches. Things got a little better in the 1990’s, but the team couldn’t live on those wages. Then the USWNT took matters in to their own hands. This is the back story of the US WNT’s lawsuit against US Soccer.

25 min - Title IX (nine)
Can a single law, just one sentence, change the world? One law, in one country, did change the world. Title IX is the only law in the United States that recognizes the rights of women, but it started a revolution around the world.

19 min - Second Class? Really?
The Danish Club BK Femina won the first Women’s World Cup in 1970. Their story is in many ways similar to the USWNT’s story. Unappreciated and unrecognized, they soldiered on. And I am joined by the hosts of NWSL podcast @_itsnotsoccer to discuss the USWNT/US Soccer lawsuit, equal rights, equal pay and the state of women’s football in general.

24 min - The Rebellion Part 2- More of This!
In 1971, FIFA lifts the ban on women playing football. But they don’t do anything to help the women’s game. The Asian Ladies Football Confederation is having none of that.

By 1970, women are playing football all over the world, but FIFA is not sanctioning matches. FIFA doesn’t seem to care. Someone else is paying attention though, and they set out to make history.

23 min - Lotte Specht and Damen Fussball
Germany was a dangerous place in the 1930s. The German economy was suffering under the Great Depression and German politics was becoming toxic. The Nazis are about to come to power. Men fought in the streets over politics. In the middle of all that, women took to the pitch to play football.
And Austrian women attempt to do the impossible, something that still hasn’t been done in women’s soccer anywhere else.
