Strong Like Her: A Celebration of Rule Breakers, History Makers, and Unstoppable Athletes de Haley Shapley

Strong Like Her: A Celebration of Rule Breakers, History Makers, and Unstoppable Athletes

Autor Haley Shapley Fotografii de Sophy Holland
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 mai 2024
This stirring and vibrant account of women’s athleticism throughout history “will leave readers feeling inspired and powerful” (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 “a little light housework with a feather duster,” these brave and brawny women paved the way for the generations to follow.

Filled with Sophy Holland’s beautiful por­traits of some of today’s most awe-inspiring ath­letes, including Peloton instructor Robin Arzón, bodybuilder Dana Linn Bailey, actress/dancer Patina Miller, and many others, Strong Like Her is “a love letter to muscles and the women who rock them so gloriously” (Shape).

Recenzii

“Athletes are the greatest of all feminists. If a woman’s chief occupation is no longer needlework, if strong is finally beautiful, and if all occupations are open, it’s thanks to champions like these.”
—Sally Jenkins, author of The Real All Americans and sports columnist for The Washington Post
“Strong Like Her binds the stories of incredible women with their own unique strengths and motivations. It is a celebration of women's power, proving that there is nothing we cannot do.”
—Allyson Felix, nine-time Olympic medalist
“Shapley’s book puts stereotypes that women are ‘weak’ to shame.” —The Tempest
“A book that will leave readers feeling inspired and powerful.”
—Ms. 
“This celebration of female athleticism and insightful look into what it means to be a physically strong woman trades anger for calm, and incredulity for hope, but leaves room for Shapley’s sense of humor, countering pain with laughter in the only way millennials know how.”
—New Orleans Review
“The author’s quippy prose offers hope for the role strong women will play in the future of politics and in the fight for equality.”
—Seattle Magazine

 
“A love letter to muscles and the women who rock them so gloriously.”
—Shape
