Show Notes
An episode for everyone who admires trailblazers like Kathrine Switzer and Jane Fonda: Journalist Danielle Friedman shares insight and anecdotes gained from her research for her brand-new book, Let’s Get Physical. She talks with hosts Sarah and Katie about:
-the genesis of our contemporary fitness industry;
-the pervasive (and now debunked!) notion that strenuous physical exertion harmed women;
-how the 1970s running boom affected women differently than men;
-Jane Fonda blending fitness and feminism; and,
-women finding solace from movement in navigating loss.
Sarah shares poignant family news in the introduction; the guest comes on at 15:18.
