Автор: Macy, Sue Название: Wheels of Change: How Women Rode the Bicycle to Freedom ISBN: 1426328559 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781426328558 Издательство: Random House (USA) Рейтинг: Цена: 6130.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: Take a lively look at women's history from aboard a bicycle, which granted females the freedom of mobility and helped empower women's liberation. Through vintage photographs, advertisements, cartoons, and songs, Wheels of Change transports young readers to bygone eras to see how women used the bicycle to improve their lives. Witty in tone and scrapbook-like in presentation, the book deftly covers early (and comical) objections, influence on fashion, and impact on social change inspired by the bicycle, which, according to Susan B. Anthony, "has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world."
