Publisher's Synopsis
""A Wheel Within A Wheel: How I Learned To Ride The Bicycle"" is a memoir written by Frances Elizabeth Willard in 1895. The book chronicles Willard's experience of learning to ride a bicycle at the age of 53, and the impact it had on her life. In addition to her personal story, Willard also includes reflections on the cultural and societal implications of the bicycle, which was a new and rapidly growing mode of transportation at the time. She discusses the freedom and independence that the bicycle provided for women, as well as the physical and mental benefits of cycling. Willard's book is considered a significant contribution to the history of women's cycling and the feminist movement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
