She Kicks
UK magazine
She Kicks is a women's football magazine and website published by Baltic Publications. Produced bi-monthly, costing £4.25, and at 64–72 pages long, it published FIFA Women's World Cup special editions in 2011 and 2015 and a 20th anniversary special edition in November 2016. They also printed a women's football calendar annually from 2010 to 2019.
History and profile
She Kicks began as On the Ball in 1996, the first dedicated women's football magazine in England. Original editor, Joanne Smith, and founder, Andrew Mullen, had wanted to call the magazine ElleFC, but an objection from Emap—publishers of Elle in the UK—led to a change of plan. The name was changed to She Kicks, then Fair Game in 2003, before reverting to She Kicks in December 2009.
As of 2022 the editor was Jennifer O'Neill, a former Times columnist and Sunderland Women footballer, who also works as a television pundit on Eurosport's women's football coverage.

Why this record matters
The phrase “uK magazine” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7492005. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2011, 2015, 2016 and 2010.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
