4.0 out of 5 stars An artistic vision of the ideal feminine form., April 3, 1998
By BillLog@aol.com (Plainsboro, NJ, USA) - See all my reviews
Very simply, this is a photo book consisting of top female fitness competitors and a few of the more marketable female bodybuilders. The style of the photography is fairly artistic and doesn't always bring the full beauty of the physiques to light, but other times is very flattering and interesting. The text is marginally interesting, but since that's not what the book is about it doesn't detract very much from the overall experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars The golden age..., June 13, 2007
I loved this book. This book represents the end of an era. When female fitness competitors still looked like women. Its really sad that as womens fitness has evolved hyper-muscularity and super ripped conditioning has become the standard.
All the photos are black and white and I love that about this book. Models like Mia Finnegan, Monica Brant, April Moore, Carol Semple, Ahmo Height, Sharon Bruneau ....most of them long gone from the fitness biz. If you miss the era when womens fitness emerged to try to salvage what was left of the few female physique fans still around you will really enjoy this book. The photos are mostly nudes or with minimal cover like gauze and the like.....
I thought this was infinitely better than Bill Dobbins "The Women."

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Beautiful, April 23, 1998
By A Customer
The photographs are very beautiful, especially those of Ericca Kern. Though not as good as "The Women," it is still very Goode.

Excellent book with artistic pictures of beautiful women. The text is a little sugary but the pictures more than make up for it. Read more
