About this listen
Telling the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team's story in expert prose, Pride of a Nation is a lavish tribute to one of the most beloved teams in sports, revisiting their historic four World Cup titles and four Olympic gold medals, as well as unforgettable players across the generations, such as Mia Hamm, Brandi Chastain, Abby Wambach, Megan Rapinoe, Carli Lloyd, Briana Scurry, Hope Solo, Alex Morgan, Sophia Smith, Rose Lavelle, Catarina Macario, Mallory Pugh, and more. Drawing from full access to U.S. Soccer's photo and print archives, this detailed tribute includes:
- A foreword by Julie Foudy, two-time World Cup and Olympic Champion
- Original essays by award-winning writer and documentary filmmaker Gwendolyn Oxenham exploring the evolution of the women’s game and its world-changing impact on the culture at large
- Exclusive player polls ranking the best teams of each decade and the All-Time Best XI
- Excerpts of the best previously published writing and prize-winning reporting about the epic games and greatest players over the past forty years
- Stats, records, illuminating trivia, and more
Honoring the fierce athleticism and unshakeable spirit of the charismatic pioneers who planted the U.S. women’s soccer flag in 1985, and those who have made the rest of the world salute it ever since, this incisive and entertaining book will be a keepsake for soccer lovers everywhere.
Critic Reviews
“Filled with insightful essays, first-person narratives, and stunning photographs, it may be the most compelling book ever written about any American soccer program. . . . Bold. Audacious. Inspiring. Fun. Just like all 256 pages of Pride of a Nation.”—SoccerAmerica
