Bessie Stringfield fought for civil rights and equality by doing what she loved despite the struggles and danger that came with riding motorcycles.
Bessie Stringfield: African American Queen of the Road
Lois Pryce (website) and her cute retro ride. Redhead + red bike = fiery and awesome! Lois is a writer and logs her travels in book form (you may have heard of those things once or twice) with accompanying photography.
A gutsy tale of one woman and her bike, told with vigour and honesty….she manages to make the journey an enjoyable experience and a solid read. There are the usual chaotic scenes of jumble in border towns, and heart-warming tales of help en route. But there are also some genuinely chilling episodes and these make the book, and perhaps the journey, all too authentic. – Irish-Times
