The roar of 90,000 fans at Wembley and a TV audience of more than 10 million tuning in to watch England's European Championship triumph last summer was a moment that inspired a whole generation of female footballers.

Now, as the Lionesses prepare to kick off their Women’s World Cup campaign in Australia and New Zealand, the women's game has broken into the mainstream like never before.

This begs the question: just how much do the top players actually get paid? Unfortunately, the disparity between male and female wages is still a large one.

The Women's Super League, English football's top domestic competition, is one of the world's most competitive divisions and features an abundance of talent from Chelsea's Sam Kerr to Arsenal's Vivianne Miedema.
