- **Event Description**: Women’s History Month Lecture: Fitness History as Feminist Practice with Natalia Mehlman Petrzela

The history of exercise in the United States is by no means limited to women’s stories, but the act of writing the history of fitness draws on the work of feminist scholars who expanded the realm of historical study to include the body, fashion, pop culture, and more. In this talk, historian Natalia Mehlman Petrzela will both trace the rich history of American fitness culture from a strange subculture to a social imperative and reflect on the process of researching and writing her book, Fit Nation: The Gains and Pains of America’s Exercise Obsession, drawing on over more than two decades spent in and around gyms and other exercise spaces.
