She Kicks is a women's football magazine published by Baltic Publications. Produced bi–monthly, costing £2.75, and at 48 pages long, it published a FIFA Women's World Cup special edition in June 2011.
She Kicks began as On the Ball in 1996; the first dedicated women's football magazine in England.[1] Original editor and founder Joanne Smith had wanted to call the magazine ElleFC, but an objection from Emap—publishers of Elle in the UK—led to a change of plan.[2] The name changed to She Kicks, then Fair Game in 2003,[3] before reverting to She Kicks in December 2009.
The current editor is Jennifer O'Neill; a former Times columnist[3] and Sunderland Women footballer,[4] who also works as a television pundit on Eurosport's women's football coverage.[5]
