This book tells the fascinating and courageous story of Irene González Basanta, considered the first professional female footballer in Spain. Through rigorous research that includes previously unpublished family testimonies, the authors reconstruct the life of this pioneer who, at the beginning of the 20th century, challenged the social conventions of her time to dedicate herself to football, becoming a celebrity before her untimely death at the age of 19. The work not only focuses on the figure of Irene but also traces the historical evolution of women's football in Galicia, from its earliest beginnings to the present day.
