Hartridges last post before her death challenged conventional notions that women should be feminine and shouldnt look strong. I have never adhered to societal norms and I am certainly not going to start now, she wrote alongside a photo of herself flexing at the gym. Now can someone please pass me a dumbbell? And make it a heavy one.
