Synopsis:
"On her motorcycle, Bessie felt free." A woman riding a motorcycle was shocking enough to Americans in the 1930s, but one who performed stunts and traveled cross-country by herself was practically unheard of! Ever defying expectations, Bessie Stringfield made an indelible mark as the "Motorcycle Queen," but her story has often been overlooked. Revived here by author Janie Havemeyer and illustrator Jean Claverie, Bessie's daring exploits showcase a woman of grit and determination who met life head on--and astride a motorbike.
About the Author:
History enthusiast and former elementary school teacher Janie Havemeyer gravitates toward writing biographies, especially stories about strong female protagonists and trailblazers who have been erased in history. This is her first book for Creative Editions. She lives in the Bay Area.
