LFC welcomes inspirational women to Anfield to celebrate International Women's Day

A group of exceptional women, who were chosen for either their significant contribution to the local Anfield community or the gender diversity movement within the city, will be hosted at the Premier League clash with Bournemouth at Anfield on Saturday.

Fans can also find out more about some of the inspirational women in a specially produced film entitled ‘Women of the Kop’, which features four generations of Reds supporters and explores them through the eyes of some of the people closest to them.

Celebrating the strength, ambition and uniqueness of the club’s female fans, the film features Margaret Aspinall, chair of the Hillsborough Family Support Group, and her daughter, Louise; Finley Kennedy, an LFC Foundation Kicks Girls programme participant with her dad, Eddie; Jacqui McAssey, senior lecturer in fashion at Liverpool John Moores University and founder of GirlFans, a social media channel exploring female fan culture, with her former student Nadia Atique, whose final year collection of Modest Fashion appeared in Vogue; and Lizzie Doyle and her friend Andy Heaton, who both work at The Anfield Wrap.
