Presents photographs of top female competitive bodybuilders in a visual exploration of this phenomenon. The photographs and text also explore the implications of this new aesthetic for art, sport and our overall view of the capabilities of women.
For thousands of years, the muscular male body has been an object of admiration and a primary subject of art. Women, on the other hand, have rarely been celebrated for their physical strength or muscular development. But in the late 1970s, women discovered the sport of competitive bodybuilding and began doing the same kind of muscle-specific weight training as their male counterparts.
As a result, we are seeing the emergence of a cultural phenomenon without precedent - women attempting to develop the ultimate degree of muscle size, shape, definition, and proportion primarily for aesthetic, rather than athletic, purposes. The fact that so many women are now both willing and able to devote themselves to creating muscular bodies is one indication of our changing perception of the potential of the female body as we approach the 21st century.
In the Women, author and photographer Bill Dobbins presents 8 color and duotone photographs of top female competitive bodybuilders in a stunning visual exploration of this new phenomenon, and convincingly shows that muscles on women can indeed be beautiful. The photos, combined with the enlightening text, explore as well the implications of this new aesthetic for art, sport, and our overall view f the capabilities of women.
