Bicycles and Bloomers: Women's Emancipation and the Bicycle
Add to My Planner

click to view website

Coronado Historical Association
Bicycles and Bloomers
Date: Every day (Jun 26-Oct 15) from 9:00am to 5:00pm
Admission Fees: Suggested donation $4

Women and girls on bicycles are so ubiquitous today that it is hard to imagine a time when they were discouraged from riding, not just in the United States, but all over the world.

Men on bicycles were a fairly common sight by the mid-1870s, but women were
considered too fragile, and the feminine fashions of the day too constrictive, to partake in the new craze. But that all began to change in the 1890s, the era explored in a new exhibit opening June 26th at the Coronado Museum of History & Art: "Bicycles & Bloomers: Women's Emancipation and the Bicycle."

 

This exhibit is the first of its kind to focus exclusively on the relationship between bicycles and women that occurred in the late 19th century. Historical artifacts including vintage bloomers and Victorian-era textiles held in the museum's collection will be displayed as well as over 40 loaned pieces from the largest collection of bicycle
artifacts in the world-The Pryor Dodge Collection.

 

Pryor Dodge is a well-known musician and dancer who fell in love with bicycles as a child and as an adult has amassed a collection of over 2,300 original artifacts, chronicling their history. He now owns the world's top collection according to "Forbes" magazine (December 2000).

Pieces from the Pryor Dodge Collection to be featured in "Bicycles &Bloomers" include lithographs, posters, prints, trading cards, postcards and historical photographs featuring women and children discovering the benefits and delights of a remarkable new mode of transportation.

The evolution of women's fashions to accommodate a ride on a "two-wheeler"

is also evident in these images. It would be several more decades before women would have the right to vote, but as they took to the bicycle, they experienced a heady sense of freedom and improved health that inspired them to seek more control over their own lives.

According to Pryor Dodge, "...the tricycle and the bicycle thus helped to liberate women from their clothes and by extension, from their domesticity and isolation."

 

The exhibit runs through mid-October, 2010. The Coronado Museum of History and Art is located at 1100 Orange Ave., Coronado, 619-435-7242.
Hours: M-F 9 a.m. - 5p.m., Sat-Sun 10am-5pm. Suggested donations, $4, 1100 Orange Ave., Coronado, CA 92118, 619-435-7242. www.coronadohistory.org
