One Life

"I would give anything to go back in time and relive the pure joy and electricity of the 2019 Women’s World Cup. Luckily, with Megan Rapinoe’s memoir, I (sort of) can. The pink-haired co-captain has always been a fierce voice for social justice. She was one of the first high-profile white athletes to take a knee during the national anthem in solidarity with Black Americans protesting police brutality. The team famously sued the U.S. Soccer Federation for pay discrimination and became a symbol of gender inequality. Rapinoe’s memoir brings you onto the field for key moments in her soccer career – but also shows the making of an intersectional activist."
