Reviews
Anna Kessel's book should inspire a whole generation of women. It ought to be on the school curriculum.Hadley Freeman
This book is a plea to reclaim tracks, pitches and pools for women, and to ensure that the next generation grows up appreciating - and enjoying - all that their bodies are capable of.Emma John, The Guardian
Fascinating, compelling and thought-provokingLauren Laverne, The Pool
A piercing call to arms, [Anna] argues that if women and girls embrace being active, it will lead to a sea change for women's bodies, self-image and outlook. It is brilliant.Stylist
