Reviews
Bruce Kidd, Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education, University of Toronto:
In Strong, Beautiful and Modern, Charlotte Macdonald provides an insightful corrective to previous accounts that have largely focused on domestic developments and writes eloquently about the ideologies of the body. An impressive feat of comparative scholarship.
