Description
Shortlisted for the Sports Book Awards Autobiography of the Year
Maggie Alphonsi: Winning the Fight is not only a national sporting icon, the face of international women's rugby, and star player of the England side that won the World Cup in 2014. She is also an inspirational and totemic figure who transcends sport.
The compelling story of her life makes her achievements even more extraordinary. Hers is an against-all-the-odds tale, becoming the best player in the world despite having to battle against racism, sexism, and prejudice.
This book is forged from the raw emotion, passion, and testimony of an iconic player who rose to the elite of world sport when the world was seemingly stacked against her. It is a moving and revealing story of a woman who was not prepared to be defined by anyone but herself, providing readers with a unique insight into how she met her goals.
