This trend massively impacted the lives of women, allowing them greater mobility and changing perceptions of women as weak or in need of chaperons. This book traces the history and development of the American bicycle, observing its critical role in the fight for gender equality. The bicycle radically changed the face of fashion, health, and even morality and propriety in America. This thorough history traces the sweeping social advances made by women in relation to the development of the bicycle." $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Cycling for women $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Cycling $x History $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Bicycles $x History $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Women $z United States $x History $x History $y 19th century. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200402012927.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1DFAB5265D1D11EA9B49BA2197128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
