Biography
James Lee has taught Journalism at Bucknell University since 1997. Prior to that he taught English at Susquehanna University for many years. The Lady Footballers combine two of Lee’s primary interests: newspapers and soccer. Much of the information about Nettie Honeyball and the British Ladies’ Football Club comes from newspaper accounts. In fact, he first became aware of the Lady Footballers initial Crouch End match while doing newspaper research on another topic.
