By the 1890s, it was the outlandish Victorian Era Bicycles that finally liberated the “New Woman” with solo transportation. any people believed that females were inherently weaker than men, hence more prone to medical disasters. They warned of everything from cycling accidents to unhinged nerves caused by the constant vibration of the bicycle. And do not forget, there was “bicycle face.” That was the hardened, painful expression caused by looking forward in a state of constant anxiety. Perhaps worst of all, was the inevitable damage to the female organs. Dr. Arabella Kenealy among many physicians of her day wrote that bicycling would make a woman more mannish and inevitably limit her ability to have children. Worst of all, it was believed that bicycling could stimulate carnal instincts due to the friction of the saddle.Beautiful Art Nouveau Advertising Print Plaque.
