Read the excerpt from "The Scarlet Ibis."
That summer, the summer of 1918, was blighted. In May and June there was no rain and the crops withered, curled up, then died under the thirsty sun. One morning in July a hurricane came out of the east, tipping over the oaks in the yard and splitting the limbs of the elm trees. That afternoon it roared back out of the west, blew the fallen oaks around, snapping their roots and tearing them out of the earth like a hawk at the entrails of a chicken. Cotton bolls were wrenched from the stalks and lay like green walnuts in the valleys between the rows, while the cornfield leaned over uniformly so that the tassels touched the ground. Doodle and I followed Daddy out into the cotton field, where he stood, shoulders sagging, surveying the ruin. When his chin sank down onto his chest, we were frightened, and Doodle slipped his hand into mine. Suddenly Daddy straightened his shoulders, raised his giant knuckly fist, and with a voice that seemed to rumble out of the earth itself began cursing heaven, hell, the weather, and the Republican Party. Doodle and I, prodding each other and giggling, went back to the house, knowing that everything would be all right.

Read the excerpt from Chapter 4 of Wheels of Change.
Annie Londonderry wasn't the only one who pushed the limits of time and distance on her two-wheeler. In the late 1890s, several women took the concept of riding a century—100 miles—to the extreme by peeling off two, three, four, or more centuries in a row. Perhaps the greatest female century rider performed outside the spotlight. Dora Rinehart's exploits hardly ever were reported beyond the western United States, where the Colorado native earned the title "America's Greatest Cyclienne." Rinehart took up the bicycle to regain her strength after suffering scarlet fever. She started with short rides, but quickly built up her endurance. In 1896 alone, she pedaled 17,196 miles, more than any other woman in the United States. That included stretches of 10 days in July and 20 days from October 31 through November 19 when she rode a century every day.

Some stated the liberating effects of the bicycle with less sarcasm. "The bicycle has brought to women a healthful, wholesome means of securing a degree of freedom and independence that no amount of discussion regarding 'women's rights' would ever have produced," wrote the L.A.W. Bulletin and Good Roadsmagazine in 1898. Meanwhile, Munseg's Magazineassessed the impact of the wheel on women in a special bicycle-themed issue. "If she has ridden her bicycle into new fields, becoming in the process a new creature, it has been gradually and unconsciously," the editors wrote. "She did not have to be born again in some mysterious fashion, becoming a strange creature, a new woman. She is more like the 'eternal feminine,' who has taken on wings, and who is using them with an ever increasing delight in her new power." Indeed, many bicycle companies at home and abroad did put wings on the women in their advertisements, emphasizing that they had taken flight.
Sue Macy's synthesis connects the idea that the bicycle changed the way many people viewed women by
comparing the value of the bicycle to the value of increased freedom and independence.
reflecting on the discussion and fight for women's rights that had already been taking place.
explaining that using women in advertisements directly led to an increase in bicycle sales.
providing examples of the ways women were being portrayed in magazines and advertisements.
