Woman cycling in Brisbane, ca.1900

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  The greatest impact the bicycle had on the societal role of women occurred in the 1890s during the bicycle craze that swept American and European society. During this time, the primary achievement the bicycle gained for the women's movement was that it gave women a greater amount of social mobility.

  Susan B. Anthony, famed suffragette leader, and women’s rights reformer, once said of the bicycle, “I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self-reliance.” Anthony described the image of a woman on a bicycle as “the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood.” Source: momentummag.com/three-women-changed-course-history-bicycle/

  Those bicycles are penny farthings, would have been difficult to race and keep upright.
