Description

Peter Zheutlin vividly recounts the story of the audacious woman who turned every Victorian notion of female propriety on its ear. In June 1894 Annie Kopchovsky set off to settle a high-stakes bet between two wealthy merchants that a woman could not ride around the world on a bicycle. The epic journey that followed took the connection between athletics and commercialism to dizzying new heights and turned Annie into a symbol of sexual equality. Around the World on Two Wheels blends social history and high adventure into an unforgettable portrait of courage, imagination, and tenacity.
