Summary:
"In this empowering, invigorating book, Samantha Brennan and Tracy Isaacs prove that fitness in a feminist issue. Inspired by a personal challenge to become the fittest they'd ever been by age fifty, the long-time friends, both feminist university professors and co-founders of the blog Fit Is a Feminist Issue, offer a new approach to athleticism--one that champions strength, health, and personal accomplishment over weight loss and aesthetics. They share their own experiences of getting active and explore the many issues women face when seeking fitness at mid-life. Finally, the authors show how women can best take charge of their health--no matter what their shape, size, age, or ability."--Back cover.
