Bicycles: On the Path to Women’s Rights

What did bicycles have to do with the fight for women’s rights? In this presentation, historian Allison Lange will talk about how, in the 1890s, women embraced the bicycle and the freedom of movement that came with it. While their bloomers and independence made critics anxious, many women used bicycles to seek new opportunities.

$5 CHS members, $10 non-members; $8 for seniors. Light refreshments will be provided. Includes admission to the museum galleries — come early to view our latest exhibition, The Bicycle Game!

Advance tickets can be purchased here.
