Copa 71

 
With extensive archival material and present-day interviews, Copa 71 provides insight into the unprecedented events. Through providing a greater context to the first (unofficial) Women’s World Cup held in Mexico City, we learn of the extensive methods in which sexism and discrimination pervaded football–even in the form of national laws. This guide compliments a curriculum in History, Social Studies, and Sports and is intended for educators to use with students to explore topics of education, laws, archives, gender studies and journalism.
