The first known existence of a female Forest team was that which competed in the Notts and Derby League in the early 1970s but the club in its current form was officially founded in 1990 by the NFFC Community arm and then developed by the players. The small group of young women advertised in the men's official programme against Everton for players to join them.

The current kit is sponsored by The Reds Lotto draw and are growing ever stronger with their male counterparts. The team reached the FA Women's Premier League Cup final in March 2011, but were defeated by Barnet on penalties.

They currently play in the FA Women's Premier League Northern Division.

Forest Women applied to join the FA WSL in 2014,[1] however were unsuccessful.[2]

On 1 July 2019 the club changed its name from 'Nottingham Forest Ladies' to 'Nottingham Forest Women' and their logo dropped the word 'ladies' to become the same as the men's.[3]

gollark: However, you could get about the same performance in a thinner thing if you are willing to pay more and probably have horrible cooling problems.
gollark: My laptop is a powerful nonthin laptop (it weighs 2.5kg plus a 1kg charger brick rated for 230W, and the back extends slightly past the screen so they can shove more IO on it) which I got cheaply via methods.
gollark: But yes, something something tradeoffs. You can get powerful thin laptops too, but they cost more than a bad thin laptop or powerful nonthin laptop.
gollark: A desktop is portable, just glue a car battery and 23" monitor to the side.
gollark: Unfortunately, they cost a lot (the M1 is very much not optimized for cost, and Apple like charging lots), run MacOS, and cannot be repaired.
