Revolutions: How Women Changed the World on Two Wheels by Hannah Ross

adventurous informative inspiring medium-paced

3.0

I really enjoyed some parts of this, but overall I thought it was just fine. I was not anticipating how UK/Europe/U.S. centric this book would be, particularly given the popularity of cycling as a form of transportation in many regions of the Global South (and China). I also wished this had been a bit more comprehensive, as I don't feel like I got a full picture of the history of women's cycling through this book, but instead got mini-biographies of different key figures (which, granted, were very interesting). Overall I thought Ross was an engaging writer and obviously loves and is passionate about cycling, but this was not a new favorite non-fiction book.
