The bicycle in Victorian Britain is often celebrated as a vehicle of women's liberation. Less noted is another critical technology with which women forged new and mobile public lives - cycle wear. This illustrated account of women's cycle wear brings together Victorian engineering and radical feminist invention to supply a missing chapter in the history of feminism.
