This stirring and vibrant account of womenâs athleticism throughout history âwill leave readers feeling inspired and powerfulâ (Ms. magazine).
Part group biography, part cultural history, Strong Like Her delves into the fascinating stories of our muscular foremothers. From the first female Olympian (who entered the chariot race through a loophole) to the circus stars who could lift their husbands above their heads and make it look like âa little light housework with a feather duster,â these brave and brawny women paved the way for the generations to follow.
Filled with Sophy Hollandâs beautiful portraits of some of todayâs most awe-inspiring athletes, including Peloton instructor Robin ArzĂłn, bodybuilder Dana Linn Bailey, actress/dancer Patina Miller, and many others, Strong Like Her is âa love letter to muscles and the women who rock them so gloriouslyâ (Shape).
