PORTRAIT - Hilary Rhoda
Hilary Rhoda. There’s no doubt about it — revolution is in the air. Earlier this month, Jennifer Aniston wrote an outspoken critique of contemporary body norms in the Huffington Post: The objectification and scrutiny we put women through is absurd and disturbing,’ she said, adding that she’s sick of being ‘measured against some warped standard of beauty. Body politics has never felt more potent. This summer a sweep of strong, athletic women has dominated the popular consciousness. Jessica Ennis gearing up for Rio; Serena Williams winning her seventh Wimbledon and 22nd Grand Slam title, and Beyonce?, glorious in a leo- tard and thigh-high boots, performing Formation at Wembley. On social media, the hashtags girl gains (as in, muscle gains) and strong not skinny have come to represent the celebration of female physical power. Thanks to the likes of FitBit, ClassPass and dial-a-PT apps, being fit — and being strong — has never been eas- ier (or more appealing). As Dr Becky Spelman, psycholo- gist at Harley Street’s Private Therapy Clinic, puts it: Women are understanding that skinny doesn’t mean healthy, and that strength and working on what you can do with your body rather than restricting yourself is far more empowering.
