It’s a New Era For U.S. Women’s Soccer. And Cindy Parlow Cone Is In Charge

Posted Jul 7, 2020
Cindy Parlow Cone played for the USWNT from 1995 to 2006, playing in three Olympics and two World Cups as part of the famed 1999 squad that included Mia Hamm and Brandi Chastain. That team ushered in a “new era of success for women’s football” but the players were still fighting for equality. Eventually it drove Cone to run for vice president. (Glamour)
