Product Information

Born Rasa Sofija Jakstas in Germany, 1945, Everts (who goes by Rasa von Werder these days) has built a varied and fascinating career.

Having begun weight training in 1964 to stay in shape during her pregnancy—a practice frowned upon at the time as being detrimental to a woman's health and because strong muscles were simply perceived as more of a masculine trait— Kellie Everts quickly became endeared to the feeling weight training gave her and the results in size and self-confidence she gained through working the iron.

It was after her promotion, Esquire 6 page layout in July 1975 and then being on " To Tell the Truth", as well as the Mike Douglas Show and The Stanley Siegel Show, and subsequently getting female body building into Playboy, May 1977 (Humping Iron) that anyone began to hold serious female fitness and body building contests.Kellie was happy to be onstage showing her hard and muscular body, secure in the knowledge that her efforts had thrown the spotlight onto women's physique, although she still had to contend with patronizing attitudes that relegated women's bodybuilding to that of a beauty pageant. But if you can do so as it is great for your health and will help you to release many feel-good hormones. Women are entering management and human resources positions at a fast pace; they will be choosing who works, and they will be overseeing the millions of male prisoners. I can see why most males would prefer the softer look: that makes them remember, "I'm a man, she's a woman.
