Alice Hawkins\, a factory worker from Leicester\, pedal-powered her fi ght for universal suffrage as the bicycle became a cornerstone of her work to recruit women to the cause. Annie ‘Londonderry’ Kopchovsky\, was a 24- year-old Latvian immigrant living in Boston\, who in 1894 became the first woman to cycle around the world. She took up the challenge\, despite neve r having ridden a bike before\, after two men bet a woman couldn’t do it. In fact\, she actually arrived back home ahead of schedule.\nToday\, Hanna h Ross meets professional female cyclists at the top of their game such as Lizzie Deignan and Helen Wyman\, and delves into progress and problems th e professional sport faces today in representation and pay. She meets 25-y ear old amateur black British track cyclist Yewande Adesida on turning up to races and being the only black woman there\, and what can be done to im prove diversity in the sport. She explores the barriers women face cycling across the world\; sharing the experiences of women including Anissa Lama re\, India’s only female competitive downhill mountain biker and Nadima Ab u El-Einein\, an activist for women’s cycling in Saudi Arabia. She also di scusses her work with The Bike Project\, and the importance of bikes for w omen’s agency – something not just important in the Suffrage movement\, bu t in London\, today.\nJoin us as we feel the breeze in our hair as she tal ks with James Spackman.
