"Vertinsky examines the debate about women and exercise from the points of view of the male medical establishment, the early pioneer female doctors, intellectual feminism and the developing profession of psychology... . What men and women doctors had to say about female health and physical activity had an important impact upon the lifestyle and outlook of middle-class women and provided a legacy which has had a lasting effect," a quote from the back cover of Vertinsky's book, "The Eternally Wounded Woman: Women, Exercise and Doctors in the late Nineteenth Century". This talk incorporates the themes of culture, physicality and the making of the female body.

She is a social and cultural historian working across the fields of women's history, sport history and sociology, popular culture and the history of health and medicine.
