8 March 2010

Gubernatrix (okay…me) is hosting an online symposium on International Women’s Day to discuss and debate the issue of getting more women into strength training.

The purpose of the symposium is to share experiences, generate ideas and inspire people to take action – to change perceptions of women?s strength, bust myths, get more women lifting heavy and generally break down barriers to strength training for women.

There will be ‘think pieces’ from various people to help generate discussion.

Join the debate at http://gubernatrix.co.uk/forum. The forum is accessible from today but the symposium opens on 8th March.

Thanks Franz! It's a new thing for me but I've got several interesting female writers to take part so it should generate some interesting discussion.

I hope people will drop by on 8th March :)

Just had the first couple of 'think pieces' in and they are very thought-provoking. I have writers from the UK, India and the US taking part, so there's a real international dimension to the issues.
