Sisters in the Wind … the road less traveled
Sunday, November 3, 2024 01:00 AM - 03:00 PM
Hallock State Park Preserve
Be inspired as historian Bruce Kagan will take you on "the road less traveled," reviewing the development of the bicycle and motorcycle and highlighting key biographies of women who dared to make these machines part of their lives. Their journey elevated and changed society. These new activities necessitated a change in women's dress. Long Victorian dresses, corsets, and bustles were replaced by form fitting outfits. Lady motorcyclists wore leather pants and jackets. The bicycle became a symbol for the struggle for the vote. The greatest development to bring women closer to freedom and independence was the invention of the bicycle. Susan B. Anthony 1896.
