Description
For too long society has led us to believe that women and sport don't mix - that you can't be both feminine and sporty. While perspiration and 'fitspiration' have never been so hot, sport continues to be stubbornly cast as unfeminine. But why should sport and exercise be so gendered? At what point did physical exertion become work, and not play? What happened to the carefree versions of ourselves, the young girls who dared to climb trees, cartwheel across playgrounds or run down hills so fast we laughed until we couldn't breathe? When did we lose our sense of fun, and what else did we lose along with it? In a brave, funny and personal call to arms which rejects the current trend of obsessing over thigh gaps and bingo wings, Anna Kessel carries out a very timely health check on the nation and women's involvement in sport. In her exploration of major taboos, including body dysmorphia, periods, miscarriage, sex and the gender pay gap, Kessel discovers how sport and exercise play an integral role in every sphere of our modern lives. Sharing the tales of a fascinating range of women - from Sporty Spice conquering the music world in a shell suit to mums who box and breastfeed - Eat Sweat Play is the inspirational story of how women are finally reclaiming sport and, by extension, their own bodies.
