England's first Lionesses from WW1 honoured at World Cup museum display in Kansas

The Lionesses are England's national women's football team, which has gained significant popularity and success in recent years, including reaching the final of the 2022 European Championship. The team's history, however, dates back to the early 20th century, with women's football gaining traction during World War I as a way to boost morale and raise funds for the war effort. The recognition of these early female football players at a museum display in Kansas highlights the growing interest in preserving and celebrating the history of women's football.
