Abstract

Introduction: Women's football was banned for many years until the first teams began to be created
in the Canary Islands. Methodology: The research has been based on the bibliographic and
hemerographic review of the specialized press and sports news of the time. Other current studies have
also been taken into account to focus a position from the social history of sport. This communication
includes the articles published in the Canarian newspapers between 1915 and 1950. Results and
conclusions: The research shows the low representation of women's football in the Canary Islands in
the period studied and an unequal treatment resulting from the historical, social and legal context of
the analyzed time.
