Play on! The Hidden History of Women's Australian Rules Football by Brunette Lenkić, Rob Hess
kirbybee's review
5.0
I've just read the last line of this book and I'm grinning and crying at the same time.
This is a brilliant history of women's AFL: beginning with the very early games at the start of the last century, right up to the incredible growth of women's footy over the past few years. Well-researched, well-written, equal parts fascinating, infuriating and joy inducing. I heartily recommend it to anyone that has even a passing interest in women's sport and/or AFL.
Oh, and that last line?
"Come 2017, their 100-year apprenticeship will be over"
Oh it is, it most definitely is!

Important history but could have easily been condensed into an article, which I would have given a much higher rating.

I wanted to love this, but found it rather bland and dry. Some interesting facts, but the writing did not set my world on fire.
