A Greater Goal: The Epic Battle for Equal Pay in Women’s Soccer— and Beyond
Elizabeth Rusch
Drawing on the experiences of over 250 U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team players, this nonfiction book examines their campaign for equal pay. Title IX, enacted in 1972, opened more opportunities for girls and women to play sports at advanced levels, but international competition still came with unequal treatment. Players faced restricted salaries, poor lodging, economy flights, and scant marketing while representing the United States at the Olympics, World Cup, and other events.
