"Resting Bicycle Face": Bikes and Women's Rights

from Ridiculous History · host iHeartPodcasts

Nowadays bicycles are a common sight across the world -- they're efficient, convenient, and a great way to get in some exercise. Yet in the late 1800s they were ground zero for a culture war over women's rights. In today's episode, Ben, Noel and Max discover how the humble 'safety bike' rocked the status quo, giving female riders newfound freedom... and throwing the patriarchy into a panic.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
