Dr Fiona Skillen, a Senior Lecturer in History at Glasgow Caledonian University, joins the Common Good Podcast to chart the evolution of women's football in Scotland. Speaking with Craig G Telfer, Dr Skillen looks at the game's origins in the Elizabethan era, its development in the late 19th century, and its rise in popularity over the last three decades. Dr Skillen also examines the key moments and important characters who helped shape the women's game and how the team will fare at the forthcoming World Cup in France.
