Women of Iron (1984)
The past and present of ladies bodybuilding. Report on the feminine side of the sport of bodybuilding, with both historical and personal approaches, illustrated with images from several women contestants. The last part of the report focuses on the public disagreement over the judging views in some promotions, and the split between those for and against emphasis on muscular development.
