This book details the development of women's fitness throughout history in the US by describing each new craze. It's interesting because it looks at fitness both in terms of the positives (women finding a place and time for themselves outside the home) and the negatives (women exercising to reach unrealistic body goals) and in that regard it is a well-balanced exploration of the subject. I found it very readable and interesting, and enjoyed it very much. With thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in return for an honest review.
