The Cycling Craze For Ladies, Together With Cycling For Ladies – A Defence By Mrs Lynn Linton. An Original Article From The Lady’s Realm – Circa 1896

The cycling craze for ladies has proved two things: – one, that fashion is more potent than vanity, and the other that fashion is mainly influenced by defiance of the customs and ideas generally received at the moment. If it were not so, this craze would never have “caught on”; and pretty women, with any regard for their appearance, would have eschewed the cycle as they would eschew dancing on their hands with their feet in the air, after tht pattern of the old Greeks and Romans.’ An original article (1896) – 10 pages, illustrated H:23.8 x W:16cm
