I saw a new book review that got my attention:

Venus with Biceps: A Pictorial History of Muscular Women

It definitely has not traditionally been the look of the ideal woman – strong, muscular woman. I do think the tides are turning or at least in the circles I hang out in …. CrossFit woman are strong, muscular and kick ass!

Venus with Biceps is an illustrated history of muscular women over the course of more than 100 years. It features a wealth of photographs, posters, line drawings, magazine covers, and film stills documenting the image of the strong, healthy female—an object of fascination, derision, amusement, and fetishization, depending on the era. Unlike their male counterparts, muscular women were historically not considered to be prototypes for the ideal body but more akin to circus freaks.
