Raised a Warrior: A Memoir of Soccer, Grit, and Leveling the Playing Field

When Susie Petruccelli won a place on Harvard University's soccer team, she felt on top of the world — talented, strong, and worthy. Unfortunately, after sustaining injuries and developing health problems, she felt her worth slip away. In this remarkable memoir, Petruccelli reveals how she battled her way back onto the field and continued to fight even after she hung up her cleats. She distills the significance of not giving up on oneself and inspires players of all sports who've faced injuries to persevere.

She also brings to light the inequities and discrimination female athletes face that she's traveled the world to see and document firsthand, and introduces the international athletes and activists fighting for equal pay and conditions. In so doing, she reveals the progress made, as well as the battles ahead and the force of the movement. This star athlete shares her trailblazing account of triumph in the face of sexism, self-doubt, and injury, giving a remarkable global tour of the women's soccer world, and presenting a stirring call-to-action to secure equal pay and conditions.
