Description

This book considers how American women encouraged one another to adopt a new technology--the bicycle--adapt it to their own purposes, and use it to transform cultural assumptions about femininity and gender difference. It also considers the role of women's rhetorical agency in the transformation of bicycle culture and the bicycle itself.
