Q2. Can you share images of women cycling:

- in the late 19th/early 20th century, when it was a A Big Deal*, including but not limited to ads & patronising satirical cartoons

- in press cuttings

- contemporary ones showing bicycles as a tool of independence (e.g. Afghan women)

Thanks. I got a message from Roach Minor, they've learned that bicycles played a big part in women's independence and it'd be fun to deluge w/ examples.

A2. None personally, and not sharing the few I have from half a decade ago because of privacy issues, but this was a great book with a bunch of photos of women and PedalCycles:

"Wheels of Change: How Women Rode the Bicycle to Freedom (With a Few Flat Tires Along the Way)."
