[The Women's League of Health and Beauty, founded in 1930 by Mary Stack and continued by her daughter Prunella Stack (1914-2010] [J. Bigg of New Southgate]
Publication details:
Prospectus: 'Address: The Mortimer Halls, 43 Gt. Portland St., W1.' Undated (circa 1932). Membership form dated by member to 27 September 1932.
In its obituary of Prunella Stack the Guardian describes the League as 'the most innocuous of the interwar mass fitness movements': the present item would indicate otherwise. The prospectus is printed on both sides of a 25 x 31 cm. piece of shiny art paper, irregularly folded to make a 25 x 15 cm. front cover, flanked by two 25 x 7.5 cm flaps (with the front of one listing the members of the committee, and of the other the League's rules).
