History Scotland online talk:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Women\u2019s football in Scotland, 1914-1939<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n May 2022<\/span><\/p>\n Football for women has a long history in Scotland; the earliest records of women playing football can be traced back to 1628, and the roots of the modern women\u2019s game can be traced back to the 1880s and 1890s, when early matches were played in Glasgow and Edinburgh.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n By the outbreak of the First World War the women\u2019s game had become established in England, particularly in the north. Much has been written about these developments, but little has been written about these pioneering women. <\/span> Places at the online talk, powered by Zoom, cost \u00a310 each. The live event will be made available to attendees as a recording and attendee places are limited.
