SUMMARY:How Unladylike! Women and Football in the 19th and 20th Centur
 ies
DESCRIPTION:One hundred years ago, on 5 December 1921, the Football As
 sociation (FA) moved to ban members from allowing women’s football t
 o be played at their grounds. Overnight, this was the end for women pl
 aying association football. The FA claimed the game was 'quite unsuita
 ble for females and ought not to be encouraged'.\nHear from Bruce Cast
 le Museum's special guest speaker Joanna Yeung of Tottenham Hotspur Fo
 undation as she charts the history of women's football, both before an
 d after 1921. She will share with us the highs and lows for the women 
 who dared to play – and were considered unladylike! You can find out
  about those early pioneers like Nettie J Honeyball who, after foundin
 g the British Ladies' Football Club in 1895, played with her team loca
 lly in Crouch End near Nightingale Lane – a momentous occasion watch
 ed by a crowd of 10,000 at the time. Said to be the first official wom
 en's football match, her team are now celebrated with a historical pla
 que nearby on Campsbourne School. Find out about this and other storie
 s about women playing football – the sport that was believed by some
  to be 'quite unfit for females'.\nPlease note that this is planned to
  be a hybrid event – i.e. both an on-site and a virtual event. Both 
 types of attendance must be booked.\nNumbers will be limited to 25 for
