Non-Fiction Photography
A fabulous, museum quality collection of original period
photography of women on motorcycles in the first half of the
twentieth century across America--when riding a motorcycle
was a dangerous and massive challenge no matter your sex. A
stunning social, cultural, sartorial and geographical study
of a group of emancipated women pioneers riding across and
around America before the freeway came to town. Cris Sommer
Simmons, something of an American motorcycling pioneer
herself, has been collecting photographs of women
motorcyclists for nearly thirty years. A long time rider,
often on a Harley-Davidson, she has scoured photo
collections across the country and spent hundreds of hours
researching their contents.
