Wheels of Change: How Women Rode the Bicycle to Freedom by Sue Macy

Wheels of Change: How Women Rode the Bicycle to Freedom (With a Few Flat Tires Along the Way) explores the history of the bicycle and how it directly affected women's lives. From breaking social norms, to advancing women's fashion, the bicycle allowed women to leap forward in society during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Packed with news articles, photographs, and vintage imagery, this book immerses readers in a time when women were taking full advantage of their new-found freedom, even though some saw it as scandalous.
