In this special english episode I’m talking with Hannah Ross about
her book: Revolutions - How Women Changed the World on Two Wheels.
The book was released on International Women's Day by the german
publisher Mairisch Verlag with the title: „Revolutions. Wie Frauen
auf dem Fahrrad die Welt veränderten“. How radical is riding bikes?
Are bicycles freedom-machines? Hannah Ross looks at the history of
cycling and highlights extraordinary women cyclists and groups
around the world. We talk about the famouse track cyclists from the
19th centuries as well as the Afghan Women’s Team. For many women
it seems, cycling was never neutral, but a political act.
