Cycling has long been associated with the emancipation of women, from the fashionable lady cyclists of the 1890s to the more politically motivated Suffragette Scouts of Edwardian times.
Dr Sheila Hanlon's research and exhibition, previously exhibited in London and now stored in the Women's Library at the London School of Economics, uses artefacts from The Women’s Library to explore the politics of women’s cycling in late nineteenth and early twentieth century Britain, with a focus on the suffrage campaign and some surprising revelations along the way.
For more information about the “Cycling to Suffrage” exhibit, please see The Women’s Library website.
Booking details will be available via this blog next week so watch this space.
