description: Take a lively look at women's history from aboard a bicycle which granted females the freedom of mobility and helped empower women's liberation. Through vintage photographs advertisements cartoons and songs Wheels of Change transports young readers to bygone eras to see how women used the bicycle to improve their lives. Witty in tone and scrapbook-like in presentation the book deftly covers early (and comical) objections influence on fashion and impact on social change inspired by the bicycle which according to Susan B. Anthony has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world.NCSSNotable Social Studies Trade Books in the Field of Social Studies 2012School Library Journal Best Books of 2011Finalist YALSA Excellence in Non Fiction for Young AdultsSLJs 100 Magnificent Childrens Books of 2011Amelia Bloomer List
