When the United States women’s national team took the field to play England in the second game of the 2019 SheBelieves Cup, there was something slightly different about their uniforms, which you can see above in the header image.
That is not Serena Williams, HRH Beyoncé, or Sally Ride, as fun as it might be to imagine them all playing in a game. On Saturday, USWNT players picked the name of a woman who inspires them, and wore that woman’s name on their jersey. It gave us quite a list of very different women with very different lives and histories.
