Bike Racing - Tillie Anderson and the Forgotten Female Bike Racers - A Conversation with Roger Gilles

In the 1890s, a group of women burst onto the American bike racing scene. That they were competing publicly was shocking enough. But that they forced to the fore the conversation about whether women should be athletes, made them women to be reckoned with.

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Roger Gilles, the author of Women on the Move, a chronicle of female bike racers in the 1890s.
