Futbolera
A History of Women and Sports in Latin America BY BRENDA ELSE Y & JOSHUA NADEL “Futbolera offers a compendium of individual, institutional, and state efforts designed to support or undermine women’s soccer in Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Central America, and Mexico. After reading Elsey and Nadel’s book, it is impossible to plead ignorance to the fact that women have been playing soccer across Latin America for well over a century and that, to play their sport, these athletes have had to battle powers that wanted to keep them out of the game.”—Public Books rel ease dat e | j une
