In this episode, Natalia, Neil, and Niki discuss a controversial new Adidas ad for sports bras. Support Past Present on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pastpresentpodcast Here are some links and references mentioned during this week's show:  Adidas went viral earlier this month for tweeting twenty-five sets of bare breasts in order to promote a new line of sports bras. Niki discussed this Time cover about breastfeeding. Neil referred to this Atlantic article about using breasts to sell products, and Natalia drew on historian Martha Verbrugge's book Active Bodies and this Elle feature about changing activewear trends. Natalia also referred to holdings in the Smithsonian's Jogbra collection.   In our regular closing feature, What's Making History: Natalia reflected on the life and legacy of the late fitness pioneer Patricia Moreno.

Back in the 70's running for women was pretty uncomfortable, wearing a traditional bra just didn't do the trick for support. Our guest Lisa Z. Lindahl was diagnosed with epilepsy at an early age and because of her complex relationship with her body, jogging became her sanctuary. Soon, the idea for her business breakthrough popped into her head: the Jogbra. Lisa's story is one about finding spirituality in running and liberating women through female-friendly sporting equipment. Join this conversation and listen to Lisa's empowering story of how her invention changed the lives of modern women and unleashed a whole new industry.  Before any world-changing innovation, there was a moment, an event, a realization that sparked the idea before it happened. This is a podcast about that moment — about that idea. Before IT Happened takes you on a journey with the innovators who imagined — and are still imagining — our future. Join host Donna Loughlin as her guests tell their stories of how they brought their visions to life.  JUMP STRAIGHT INTO: (02:37) - Lisa on growing up with epilepsy - “I had something called absence seizures. You just lose consciousness for a fraction of a second and people around me wouldn't know.” (05:50) - Lisa's creative aspirations in the 1960's - “There were no expectations for me. My parents hoped that some nice man would come along and marry me and take care of me.” (10:19) - The spirituality and connectedness of jogging - “I didn't run to compete. It was truly my first meditation. My first real spiritual practice came from running through the woods.” (15:04) - Finding a functional support solution for running - “I thought, ‘Why isn't there a bra that functions just for support for when I'm running?' And I sat down and wrote down what it would have to do.” (23:23) - From prototype to booming business - “We started getting so many orders right away. Not just from individuals, but from all these stores that it just took off.” (33:24) - Creating a new product for breast cancer patients - “I could not say no because I saw the pictures of these women and what they were enduring. It was kind of really a lovely flip-flop.” (38:37) - A story about women, feminism, and liberation - “That's why I wrote Unleash the Girls because it's about feminism. It's about how women deal with each other and how we face our insecurities.” EPISODE RESOURCES: Connect with Lisa on https://twitter.com/LisaZLindahl?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor (Twitter) and visit her website https://www.lisalindahl.com/ (lisalindahl.com) Get Lisa's book: https://www.amazon.com/Unleash-Girls-Untold-Invention-Changed/dp/1950282430/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= (Unleash the Girls: The Untold Story of the Invention of the Sports Bra and How It Changed the World (And Me)) Watch ESPN's documentary: https://vimeo.com/174135593 (Revolution: A History of the Sports Bra) Read an https://www.espn.com/espnw/culture/story/_/id/16674331/actress-director-eva-longoria-debuts-second-season-versus (interview with Eva Longoria) who directed ESPN's documentary on the Sports Bra Watch Brandi Chastain's retrospective interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cgdA6GfwD8 (The greatest moment in US Soccer history, 20 years later (Full Story) | FOX SOCCER) Read the Smithsonian's https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/how-first-sports-bra-got-stabilizing-start-180974427/?te=1&nl=well&emc=edit_hh_20220107 (How the First Sports Bra Got Its Stabilizing Start) Watch The Smithsonian's https://invention.si.edu/node/28532/p/611-lisa-lindahl-hinda-miller-polly-palmer-smith (interview with Lisa, Polly and Hinda)  Thank you for listening!

Two things we love: 1) women’s bodies 2) problem-solving. So imagine our delight when we discovered that MoMA Design Store put together a whole freaking beautiful, educational, and useful pop-up around Design Innovations for Women. In partnership with the MoMA Design Store team, we sat down with Chay Costello and Alex Glaser, the buyers responsible for spearheading this initiative who, yes, also happen to be work wives. We talk menstruation, motherhood, menopause—and you bet your vulvas we asked what it’s like to discuss these topics at the office.    The linkage:   You can shop MoMA Design Store’s groundbreaking Design Innovations for Women pop-up online and at their Soho store in NYC until September 27. So, so, sooo good.   A couple of previous podcast eps relevant to this conversation: Pledging to Shop Better and What to Expect When Claire’s Expecting.   Michelle Obama’s recent pod ep on menopause—definitely worth a listen.   A few of Claire’s personal faves in the Design Innovations for Women mix: the Elvie Kegel Smart Trainer and the Haakaa Generation 2 Breast Pump.    For more on Chay Costello, Alex Glaser, and the MoMA Design Store merchandising team, hit up 99U.   Some things and people Chay and Alex looked to as they pulled together this pop-up: Sssh! Periods podcast, Dame’s reusable tampon applicator (available in the UK!), Darcey Steinke’s   Flash Count Diary: Menopause and the Vindication of Natural Life, Michelle Fisher’s Designing Motherhood project at MFA Boston, designer of the first bike saddle for women Georgena Terry, designers of the first sports bra (the Jogbra!) Lisa Lindahl and Polly Smith, Womanly magazine, The Unmentionables podcast from Nyssa, and the pelvic-floor physical therapist Sara Reardon a.k.a. @the.vagina.whisperer.   Just a handful of the almost 50 products part of this design movement v. worth checking out: Aisle Period Undies Boxer Brief, TOP The Organic Project Cotton Tampons with Plant-Based Applicator, DivaCup, Elvie Double Breast Pump, The Period Game, Penny Pack First Period Kit, and MoMA Champion Sports Bra.   Leave us reviews, voicemails (833-632-5463), IG direct messages (@athingortwohq)!   We’re going to be on hiatus for the next few weeks!

Running 30 miles each week, Lisa Lindahl found no garments that could adequately support a woman’s breasts during athletic activities. She made a list of qualities an athletic bra should have, including stable straps, no chafing from seams or clasps, breathable fabric and enough compression to prevent excessive movement. Lindahl asked her childhood friend, Smith, to help develop her idea. After several prototypes, Smith sewed two jockstraps together and Lindahl tested it on a run. This became the first workable sports bra prototype. Patented in 1979, the athletic brassiere was commercialized as the Jogbra, featuring a seamless, compressing front panel, non-chafing exterior seams, crossing elastic straps and a wide elastic rib band for support. Lisa Lindahl will become one of the newest Inductees at the 48thAnnual NIHF Induction Ceremony.

Global Pandemic Response Illustrates Consequences of America's Tunnel-Vision War on Terror (0:32)Guest: David Kilcullen, Former Advisor to the US in Iraq and Afghanistan, Professor of Practice in Global Security, Arizona State University, Author of “The Dragons and the Snakes: How the Rest Learned to Fight the West”One of the clearest lessons of this pandemic, so far, is that we are all in this together. We're so connected as a global community that a virus in one country will travel to another. The economic pains of the pandemic will not be isolated to just one part of the planet. So why haven't the world's nations done a better job coordinating our response to the coronavirus? In previous decades, the United States would have taken the lead in a global crisis like this – like the US did during the financial crisis that swept around the world in 2008. What's different now? Woman vs Woman - Dress Psychology (28:07)Guest:  Jaimie Krems, Assistant Professor of Psychology, Oklahoma State University, Co-Founder of the Oklahoma Center of Evolutionary AnalysisI'm guessing these mass quarantine measures have a lot of people wearing pajamas or workout clothes all day – what's the point of dressing up when you're not leaving the house? Deciding what to wear can be exhausting – at least for women, it is. There's the basic question of what's appropriate attire for the occasion. But there's also the fact that what a woman wears affects how both men and women treat her. PG-13 Movie Violence Reinforces Troubling Messages for Kids (39:57)Guest: Dan Romer, Research Director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center Is a lot of movie watching happening in your quarantined house? Over the last several decades, the amount of gun violence has doubled in PG-13 films. These are movies aimed at kids. And the gun violence they're seeing outpaces what's shown in R-rated movies. How's that affecting the way kids think about guns and violence? Researchers at the Annenberg Public Policy Center have been studying this for a long time and lately they've discovered that a particular type of violence in movies has an especially powerful effect on teen brains. The Fight for Equal Pay, Rights, & Opportunities in Sport (50:31)Guest: Joan Steidinger, PhD, Sports and Clinical Psychologist, Author of “Stand Up and Shout Out: Women's Fight for Equal Pay, Equal Rights, and Equal Opportunities in Sport”The head of the US Soccer Federation abruptly resigned last week amid a storm of criticism over its handling of a lawsuit from the Women's National Team. In a court filing, US Soccer argued that players on the men's team are stronger and faster and have more skill, so their higher pay is justified. The filing prompted immediate condemnation from fans and sponsors - and the quick resignation of US Soccer's president. But the organization is continuing to challenge the lawsuit from the Women's National Team, whose players argue that their lower levels of compensation are a violation of the federal Equal Pay Act, which guarantees the same pay for the same work, regardless of gender. It's been nearly fifty years since Title IX opened sports to women at all levels. Why do gender inequities in pay and access continue? Title IX Opened the Doors for Women in Sports, but They Needed This First. (1:09:10)Guest: Lisa Z. Lindahl, Inventor of Jogbra, Author of “Unleash the Girls: The Untold Story of the Invention of the Sports Bra and How It Changed the World (And Me)” When Title IX became law in 1972, athletics programs for young women in high school and college exploded across the country, but discomfort and self-consciousness kept many women and girls off the playing field. Then, five years later, in 1977, a 28-year-old woman named Lisa Lindahl decided to do something about the problem. She invented the sports bra. And if you think that's not a big deal, just ask the curators at the Smithsonian Museum of American History, where this history and the first prototype of the sports bra are preserved, because for many women, it literally made sports possible. Lisa Lindahl says it not only changed the world – it changed her.

When Lisa Lindahl couldn't find a comfortable bra to run in, she decided to design one. In 1977 she and a friend fashioned the first modern sports bra out of two pairs of men's supportive underwear or 'jockstraps'. Lisa told Rebecca Kesby how they perfected their design with the newly available stretchy fabrics of the late 1970s, and went on to build a multi-million dollar company.

Sydney Friedman (from the Bersa pattern episode) is back this week to talk about the Jogbra. Which came about at a time when Roberta “Bobbi” Gibb ran in the 1966 Boston Marathon when women were not allowed to and she didn’t have a sports bra. Billie Jean King is named Sports Illustrated’s first ever Sportswoman of the Year and played Bobby Riggs in the infamous ‘Battle of the Sexes’. Here are some of the links for the videos and articles discussed. Florence Williams, “The Athletic Brasserie,” 99% Invisible. Title ix Gary Singh, “Stripped,” Metro Santa Cruz, February 16, 2005

The sports bra is omnipresent in today’s sports landscape. But the current iteration of this nifty item is less than 40 years old, and it arrived with a serendipitous origin story. For this episode of Distillations we talked to Lisa Lindahl, an entrepreneur from Vermont, who in 1979 patented what was to become the modern-day sports bra. It’s a story about a runner who wanted running to be more comfortable. “It was the right product at the right time. It really struck a chord for so many women,” says Lindahl. “This product came into being because it was something I wanted.” We also talked to our museum team about their new exhibition, Second Skin: The Science of Stretch, and the roles stretch fabrics play in health and sports. Christy Schneider, exhibits project manager at the Museum at CHF, says it’s all about getting the body you want, whether you want to dance all night or run a marathon. “How do you that?” asks Schneider. “You clothe it in a second skin.” Show Clock 00:05 Intro00:32 ‘The Sports Bra Seen Round the World’ 05:40 A brief history of the sports bra10:53 The technology and science behind the sports bra11:50 Why stretch fabric matters 15:20 Conclusion Credits Hosts: Michal Meyer and Bob Kenworthy Guests: Brandi Chastain, Lisa Lindahl, Gillian Maguire, and Christy Schneider Reporter: Rigoberto Hernandez Producer: Mariel Carr Associate Producer: Rigoberto Hernandez Audio Engineer: Seth G.
