Written and curated by Alicia Mariah Elfving, founder of TheMotoLady.com and the Womens Motorcycle Show, and arguably the most notable advocate for women in the motorcycling hobby, The MotoLady's Book of Women Who Ride subverts all the tired womenandmotorcycle tropes, offering the true stories of the women past and present who ride and wrench as well as anyone, proving every bit as indispensable to maintaining and growing a positive motorcycling culture.Historically, depictions of women in motorcycle culture tend to objectifyfrom the outlaw motorcycle club biker babe to cheesecake photography to posturing celebrities with motorcycles as props. The truth is much different. From the early days of motorcycle culture more than 100 years ago, women have played a central role in making the motorcycle a legitimate form of transportation, recreation, and motorsport.Elfving presents more than 70 figures in the motorcycle world, from the Americas to Europe and even the Middle East and South Asiastunt riders, racers, builders, customizers, organizers, and more. Elfving links todays women motorcyclists with those of the past and illustrates the freedom represented by two wheels, and how motorcycles allow women to transcend cultural expectations confidently. You'll meet riders such as: Sofi Tsingos, who raises money for charities by building and auctioning motorcycles. Safety ambassador Brittany Morrow, who found her calling after surviving a highspeed crash with no gear. The Van Buren sisters, who in 1916 were among the first motorcyclists to ride coast to coast and the first women to ride to the summit of Pikes Peak. The late Jessi Combs, an iconic TV personality, metal fabricator, and landspeed record holder.Overwhelmingly positive, Elfving instills confidence and cando rather than providing an echo chamber of common complaints among women in motorcycling. In addition, The MotoLady's Book of Women Who Ride is illustrated throughout with contemporary and historical photos of the authors subjects, comprising a beautiful as well as inspiring package.
