Now and again a complaint arises of the narrowness of woman's sphere. For such disorder of the soul the sufferer can do no better than to flatten her sphere to a circle, mount it, and take to the road.
Marguerite Merington, "Woman and the Bicycle," Scribner's magazine 1895

Riding the wheel, our own powers are revealed to us...you have conquered a new world, and exultingly you take possession of it... You feel at once the keenest sense of responsibility...you become alert, active, quick-sighted, and keenly alive as well to the rights of others as to what is due yourself...to the many who wish to be actively at work in the world, the opportunity has come.
Maria E. Ward, Bicycling for Ladies, 1896
