Disappointment by Julius LeBlanc Stewart,1882.
This photography shows Annie Londonderry. She became one of the most celebrated women of the 1890s. Her amazing trip was reportedly set in motion by a wager that required Annie not only to circle the earth by bicycle in 15 months, but also to earn $5,000 en route as well. This was no mere test of a woman’s physical endurance & mental fortitude; it was a test of a woman’s ability to fend for herself in the world. I really love biking soo this old photograph is really inspiring.
