Frauenfussball zieht bei Turnieren wie der bevorstehenden EM 2025 die Massen an, doch bis 1970 war er in einigen Ländern verboten. Auch in der Schweiz stiessen Spielerinnen auf Widerstände. Wir sprechen über die ersten Frauen, die dennoch spielten. Die Geschichte des Frauenfussballs in der Schweiz beginnt in der Romandie. 1923 gründen Pionierinnen in Genf die erste dokumentierte Frauenfussballgruppe: Sie nennen sich «Les Sportives» und werden von der Speerwerferin Francesca Florida Pianzola angeführt. In den folgenden Jahrzehnten gerät der Frauenfussball jedoch in Vergessenheit – auch, weil der Sport starren Geschlechterbildern widerspricht. In den 1960er-Jahren kehrt Frauenfussball an Grümpelturnieren zurück: Im Aargau entsteht der FC Goitschel, die Spielerinnen wollen eine offizielle Meisterschaft durchführen. Doch der Schweizerische Fussballverband lehnt ab. Stattdessen bietet er den Spielerinnen an, Schiedsrichterinnen zu werden. Was dieser Schritt für sie bedeutete, erzählt in dieser Folge die damalige Schiedsrichterin Monika Stahel. «Spielmacherinnen» im Podcast Geschichte von SRF Wissen erzählt vor der EM 2025 die Anfänge, Widerstände und Wendepunkte des Schweizer Frauenfussballs. Pionierinnen sprechen über Erfolge auf und neben dem Platz, über Vorurteile und volle Stadien. Der Podcast ordnet die Entwicklungen in drei Episoden historisch ein und beleuchtet die Hintergründe der zunehmenden gesellschaftlichen Anerkennung. ____________________ (00:00) Im Fussballstadion (02:51) Die Speerwerferin Pianzola (04:47) In Cologny bei Genf (06:30) Route de Chêne 123 (09:14) Erstes Frauenfussballspiel?

The Lionesses' Euro victory captivated English football fans – but this success was once unimaginable. In 1921, the English Football Association banned women from playing on any of its pitches, a ban that would remain in place for 50 years. Who were the women who fought back? How did they defy all odds to get the women's game to where it is today? In for Ros Taylor, Jade Bailey talks to Jean Williams, visiting professor at the University of Reading, about the early pioneers of women's football, the ban that prevented them from playing, and reasons to be optimistic about the women's game. “It's really important that women's football began as a professional entertainment, in the same way that men's professional football was at the time.” “In 1921, the FA says that no club that is affiliated with the FA should allow women to play on their grounds, which is every professional and amateur club in the country.” “The business model of women's football totally changes, and it invents a myth that women's football isn't as spectacular as men's, and because people live with that myth for 50 years it still influences what we have today.” “For me, female-owned, female-run, and feminist values are the future of women's football.” Buy Legendary Lionesses: The England Women's Football Team, 1972-2022 through our affiliate bookshop and you'll help fund Jam Tomorrow by earning us a small commission for every sale.

A year later, when Sam went about having a swimming pool put in his backyard, an elderly man showed up at his door to report that he was about to dig up human remains. The reason he knew they were there was because he had buried them years before when the land was still a cemetery. Proceeding to dig, it was not long before Sam came upon two skeletons just where the elderly man said they were. There were two pine boxes, each with the indentation of a skeletal form. Sam immediately called the Sheriff and county coroner who conducted an official exhumation. Most of the bones had turned to powder, but twenty-five fragments were found, some so brittle that they disintegrated when touched. Two wedding rings were discovered on the exposed skeletons' frail fingers. Sam and Judith tried to determine the skeletons' identity. They contacted long-time resident Jasper Norton, who told them that he had dug several graves in the area when he was a teenager. Their home and several others had been built on top of an African American cemetery called "Black Hope". The deceased were mainly former slaves. The last burial occurred there in 1939. Construction crews destroyed all traces of it during the building of the subdivision. Local research revealed the skeletons were of Charlie and Betty Thomas. They had been born into slavery and freed during the Civil War. They died during the 1930s. Plagued by guilt for digging up Charlie and Betty's graves, Sam and Judith decided to rebury them. Despite this, the dead would not rest. One night, Judith discovered her clock glowing and sparking. When she checked, it was unplugged. On another night, Sam was working the night shift, so Judith was alone. After taking a shower, she heard her sliding glass door open and close. Then she heard someone ask, "What are you doing?" She assumed it was Sam, but he was not there. The next morning, Judith went to get her red shoes, but they were not in the closet. Sam helped her look throughout the house, but they could not find them. Inexplicably, they turned up outside over Charlie and Betty's grave. They later learned that the same day was Betty's birthday. Sam believes that this was Charlie giving her a birthday present. Sam and Judith were not the only ones that experienced supernatural phenomenon. A dozen of their neighbors also reported lights, televisions, and water faucets turning on and off. Many heard unearthly sounds and saw supernatural apparitions. Ben and Jean Williams moved into the same subdivision around the same time as Sam and Judith. Shortly after, Jean noticed that her plants kept dying. She reported that sinkholes appeared in the unmistakable shape of a coffin near their flowerbeds. They would fill them in, only to have them reappear a few days later. Ben and Jean also noticed strange markings on a tree near the sinkholes. An arrow pointed toward the ground. Beneath it were two horizontal slash marks. A longtime resident told Ben and Jean that he had marked the tree. He said that he had done so because his two sisters were buried beneath it. Ben and Jean felt guilty for practically desecrating their graves.
TRE's Hannah Murray talks to Jean Williams - Legendary Lionesses: The England Women's Football Team, 1972-2022
Football is the most popular sport in the world, and is played anywhere from pitches marked out in desert dust, to warzones with helmets for goalposts. But it's still predominantly a male sport. So what about the roots of women's football in the UK? How did social change in the First World War contribute to its sudden growth? And after a catastrophic ban from the FA in 1921, how did the women's game rise from the ashes? This is a Short History of Women's Football. Written by Lindsay Galvin. With thanks to Jean Williams, author and professor of sports history. EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/shorthistory Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!

Welcome to The Women's Cast - Women's Retreat 2022 Edition. That's short for podcast, forecast, our cast of characters, and all the casts in between. This season, the women's ministry at The Austin Stone is focusing on hope for the year, and specifically studying at Women's Retreat how we can live in expectant hope in Jesus. When you think about hope embodied, do you have a person that immediately pops into your head? That is this week's guest for us! In this episode, Amy Jean from our West congregation sits down with Purshia Gambles, Groups and Women's Director at our South congregation. Amy Jean is one of the most hopeful presences that we know. Although, we think you'll be surprised (and encouraged) by what Amy Jean has to share about what it's like for her to personally fight for hope. We're confident that you'll walk away from this episode feeling like you just sat down for coffee with a dear friend and eager to do it again!

German sport history in this week's podcast brought to you by the British Society of Sport History in association with the Institute of Historical Research with Professor Kay Schiller of the University of Durham. It was a wide-ranging discussion in the rather noisy lobby of the British Library that acts as a preview to Kay's rescheduled paper to be given at the IHR some time in 2020. Kay is one of the leading researchers on the history of sport in Germany in the twentieth century and we talk about his new research project into the remarkable life of Alex Natan, the ‘fastest Jew in Germany'. Natan was an élite runner whose ethnicity led him to seek refuge in Britain in the 1930s before being interned in Canada as an enemy alien on the outbreak of war. We also talk about Kay's award-winning book, The 1972 Munich Olympics and the Making of Modern Germany, co-authored with Christopher Young, which won both the North American Society for Sport History Book Award and the Aberdare Prize from the British Society of Sports History for best sports history book published in 2010. He is also Editor-in-Chief of Sport in History, the BSSH's journal and we talk about the recent special issues of Sport in History edited by Jean Williams on women's football to the accompaniment of the BL's in-house John Coltrane. There was also time to mention Jon Hughes's excellent paper on the German boxer Walter Neusel, and also to hear about Kay's experience of attending the 1972 Games as a child.
The fifth Sport in History Podcast brought to you by the British Society of Sport History in association with the Institute of Historical Research continues the summer interview season. Today my guest is Prof Jean Williams of the University of Wolverhampton where she is professor of Sport in the Institute of Sport and Human Sciences. Jean has published extensively on the history of sport, including her seminal 2003 work on women's football, ‘A Game for Rough Girls? A History of Women's Football in England' In a very topical podcast Jean talks to me about her work on developing a new museum of motorsport at the home of the British Grand Prix, Silverstone. We also talk about the history of women's football and Jean's pioneering work with the National Football Museum to uncover the hidden history of the women's game. Jean is the editor of two special editions of the BSSH's journal Sport in History which bring together a wonderfully diverse collection of articles, ranging from her own co-authored article on the 1971 Women's World Cup to an examination of the significance of the Danish-Afghan footballer Nadia Nadim by Sine Agergaard. We also talk about Jean's role as a mentor of young historians as a PhD supervisor. Two of Jean's students, Amanda Callan-Spenn and Jo Halpin, will be taking their viva examinations this week and I hope to talk to both of them in the future.
