Synopsis
The Invincibles
Published by Nick Hern Books
2 Male 7 Female
1917: World War One is raging.
In Britain, Sterling Ladies – the Dagenham Invincibles - never lose a game.
Yet once peace is restored, the factory girls must hang up their boots and fade into obscurity.
2023: Footballer Maya follows England's progress through the Women's World Cup.
The world has changed, yet the roar of the Lionesses echoes the Invincibles' war-cry.
Watching at home, injured Maya fears she'll never play again – but hearing the call of the past she finds hope for the future.
Funny and furious, The Invincibles celebrates two generations of inspirational women, and their adventures on the football pitch a century apart.
