Bike Racing 2 - The Stealthy Feminism of Victorian Roller Derby on Bikes - A Conversation with Roger Gilles
In this episode, I continue my conversation with author Roger Gilles about the ways that Tillie Anderson and the other forgotten female bike racers of the 1890s turned Victorian rules upside down. They pushed the boundaries on gender roles and women as bosses. And they proved to thousands upon thousands of spectators just how much pain and suffering a female athlete could withstand.
