1921年被学者们公认为是国际女足历史上的一个高峰和转折点。在第一次世界大战之后的几年里，女子足球的活动达到了顶峰，观众人数也创下了纪录，但在那之后的几年里，女子足球的受欢迎程度迅速下降。本文以悉尼女子橄榄球联盟为出发点，从跨代码的角度探讨这一国际高峰。它考察了各种国际的、多向的影响，这些影响是如何在1921年在整个澳大拉西亚迅速出现16项女子足球倡议的。论文的第二部分试图阐明1921年的转折点。该研究通过研究在澳大利亚和澳大利亚之间唯一一个可以与1921年英国足球协会（FA）禁止女性使用其比赛场地的禁令相媲美的禁令：新南威尔士橄榄球联盟（NSWRL）禁止在悉尼举行的一场女子比赛。它描绘了NSWRL可能认为女子比赛对男子比赛的稳定性构成的一系列威胁。在这样做的过程中，它提出了一些问题，这些问题可能会影响到未来对英足总禁令的调查。
Abstract The year 1921 has been recognized by scholars as an international peak and turning point in the history of women’s football. From peak activity and record crowds in the years immediately following the Great War, the popularity of women’s football declined rapidly in the years thereafter. This paper takes the circumstances of a women’s Rugby League initiative in Sydney as a departure point for exploring from a cross-code perspective this international peak. It examines how various international, multi-directional influences between and across the codes conditioned the rapid emergence of 16 women’s football initiatives throughout Australasia in 1921. The second part of the paper then seeks to shed light on the 1921 turning point. It does so by examining the only comparable ban in the Antipodes to the English Football Association’s (FA) ban on women using their playing fields in 1921: being a ban by the New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL) on a women’s match in Sydney. It maps a range of threats that the NSWRL may have perceived a women’s competition as posing to the stability of the men’s game. In doing so, it raises questions that may have bearing on future investigations of the FA’s ban.
