Bicycle Blouse Emancipation Freedom Lane Rider Seat Skirt Wheels
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of early 20th century feminine freedom and independence as a young woman gracefully rides an early form of bicycle along a serene country lane. Dressed in the fashion of the era, she dons a long, flowing skirt that billows behind her, a blouse with high collar and lace detailing, and a large sun hat to shield her from the sun. The large, wheels on either side of her, placed in the middle of the bicycle, add to the historical significance of this image, as they represent an early evolution in bicycle design. The rural setting further emphasizes the sense of escape and adventure that came with this new mode of transport. The young woman's confident and determined expression speaks to the emancipation and empowerment that came with the ability to travel independently, making this photograph a poignant reminder of an important moment in both women's history and transportation history.
