Lady member of The League of Health and Beauty

Lady member of The League of Health and Beauty. In 1930 Mary Bagot Stack created the Women's League of Health and Beauty. Her vision was of "a league of women who will renew their energy in themselves and for themselves day by day". She believed completely in the power of women to make the world a better place to live in. As mentioned on the reverse of this card, the outbreak of the Second World War arrested the League's startling expansion as many teachers and members responded to the call to National Service. Now known as The Fitness League, the group has retained the original logo, featured on this lady's sports shirt
