Around the World on Two Wheels

Until 1894, female sports icons were virtually nonexistent, but Annie Kopchovsky shattered this notion by embarking on a groundbreaking journey around the world on a bicycle. This Jewish immigrant and working mother took on a high-stakes bet to prove that a woman could achieve what was thought impossible, supporting herself through innovative advertising and sponsorships. Author Peter Zheutlin vividly narrates Annie's audacious adventures, portraying her as a trailblazer who redefined female propriety and became a symbol of sexual equality. "Around the World on Two Wheels" is a compelling tale of courage and reinvention in the face of societal expectations.
