Peter Zheutlin vividly recounts the story of the audacious woman who turned every Victorian notion of female propriety on its ear. In June 1894 Annie Kopchovsky set off to settle a high-stakes bet between two wealthy merchants that a woman could not ride around the world on a bicycle. The epic journey that followed took the connection between athletics and commercialism to dizzying new heights and turned Annie into a symbol of sexual equality. Around the World on Two Wheels blends social history and high adventure into an unforgettable portrait of courage, imagination, and tenacity.
