### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Interesting read, full of great detail.
  

*by H***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2017*

Narrative nonfiction is one of my favorite genres to read.  I just love reading about real people, real times, and real places.  Sue Macy has written a fascinating account of how the introduction of the bicycle helped woman step out of the shadows were they had been kept for centuries (most of them, certainly not all).  Like most technological advances, the bicycle had it supporters and its naysayers.  I found it really interesting to read about the development of the bicycle along with advertising and marketing strategies.  I found it ironic that cigarette companies placed images of woman riding bikes on/in their boxes.  I guess they wanted their brand associated with something fun and healthy, just like beer companies today want their product associated with athletics as well.  It was fun to read about some of the ladies both celebrity and ordinary who used the bicycle and the freedom it represented to advocate for their cause(s) including the right to vote.  It was also somewhat amusing to read about all the good and bad things doctors had to say about bicycles and the medical conditions helped or hurt by riding a bicycle.  Sidebars included short newspaper article reprints that provided a glimpse into some of the attitudes of the day.  The one that really made me role my eyes was a list of don't for female riders which included things such as: Don't wear a man's cap, don't criticize people's 'legs'", Don't wear clothes that don't fit, etc. Somehow I doubt there was a similar list for the men.The book is illustrated with posters, trade cards, postcards, and photographs of the period which helped me understand the text better.  The photo of a young lady in her corset, looking like she couldn't possibly breathe in it made me wince.  Macy has created a book that is both fascinating and entertaining.  One that I can heartily recommend to those readers who enjoy getting a glimpse into the ways that life has changed over the years.  Although a number of bicycle related inventions are still with us today, there are many that have gone away.

    It hits the highlights of women's suiffrage
  

*by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2020*

I appreciated the brevity of this book, it's an easy reference about how the invention of the bicycle helped women gain independence.  Interesting correlation between women's clothing and their confinement and dependence on men.  And the changes in clothing to ride the bicycle made all the difference!
