Description: Scoutt has compiled a history of women bicycling in the 19th century, arguing that the bicycle played a key role in women's emancipation. Scoutt outlines the ways in which the bike encouraged women to reject restrictive dress and gave them a means of independent transportation. She refers to figures of the women's suffrage movement, including Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, among others. The zine includes a list of references and recommended reading.
