In this first historical study of Black women’s exercise, Ava Purkiss reveals that physical activity was both a path to self-improvement and a means to expand notions of Black citizenship. Through this narrative of national belonging, Purkiss explores how exercise enabled Black women to reimagine Black bodies, health, beauty, and recreation.
