against women cyclists
with the rise of industry and the move from a rural to an
urban economy in the 19th century, american women
had become increasingly confined to their homes.
except in a few instances, the public image of america
was male. politicians, soldiers, business leaders, and
even the leading athletes in the new sports of baseball
and football were all men.
bicycle manufacturers, intent on mining an untapped
market, showed female models in their advertisements.
to the wheel, women were starting to be seen
and heard in public life.
by the turn of the century, the bicycle's heyday was over
and a new mechanical wonder promised to transport
men and women faster and farther than ever before.
