Event Details

Susan Macy’s Wheels of Change takes a lively look at women’s history from aboard a bicycle, which granted women the freedom of mobility and helped empower women’s liberation, in a format accessible and educational for readers and bike enthusiasts young and old.

Through vintage photographs, advertisements, cartoons, and songs, Wheels of Change transports 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 social change inspired by the bicycle.

>> Please note event start time has changed to 6pm.
