This section is a massive and ongoing compilation of images, articles and information on strongwomen and female bodybuilders of the past. It is a work-in-progress that will become the definitive library archive of women's strength and the female form from as early the eighteenth century right up until the 1970s. The information and images are being collated primarily from David Horne's massive physical culture collection of books, magazines, posters, postcards and ephemera. Please keep checking back. We will be updating regularly!
Access is free; although we ultimately aim to publish this ground-breaking research in book format, and hope you will support us!
