Publisher's Synopsis

""A Wheel Within A Wheel, How I Learned To Ride The Bicycle: With Some Reflections By The Way"" is a memoir written by Frances Elizabeth Willard in 1895. The book recounts the author's personal experience of learning to ride a bicycle, which was a relatively new technology at the time. Willard describes her struggles and triumphs as she learns to balance and ride the bicycle, and reflects on the physical and mental benefits of cycling. In addition to her personal story, Willard offers reflections on the broader social and cultural implications of the bicycle. She argues that the bicycle is a tool for women's empowerment, allowing them to gain independence and freedom of movement. Willard also discusses the impact of the bicycle on society as a whole, including its potential to improve health, reduce pollution, and promote social equality.Overall, ""A Wheel Within A Wheel"" is a fascinating historical document that offers insight into the early days of cycling and the social context in which it emerged. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of technology, women's history, or social movements.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1895 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
