Description
Discover the inspiring stories of women who changed the world on two wheels. From Simone de Beauvoir's cycling adventures in 1940s Paris to Annie 'Londonderry' Kopchovsky's record-breaking journey around the globe, this book celebrates the pioneering spirit of women who defied convention and pushed boundaries. Despite facing obstacles and skepticism, these women persevered and achieved remarkable things. They used their bicycles as a tool for social change, spreading messages about suffrage and challenging cultural norms. Their stories are a testament to the power of determination and courage in the face of adversity. In this gloriously celebratory book, Hannah Ross brings together the fascinating tales of women who have shaped the history of cycling.
