Summary

Alicia Mariah Elfving, founder of TheMotoLady.com, dishes profiles of more than 70 women past and present who ride and wrench as well as anyone, and in the process have proven every bit as indispensable to maintaining and growing a positive motorcycling culture. Elfving focuses on current figures in the motorcycle world, from the Americas to Europe and even the Middle East and South Asia-overland adventurers, stunt riders, racers, customizers, builders, and artists. In the process, she links today's women motorcyclists with those of the past and illustrates the freedom represented by two wheels, and how motorcycles allow women to transcend cultural expectations confidently. The MotoLady's Book of Women Who Ride is illustrated throughout with contemporary and historical photos of the women profiled, comprising a beautiful as well as inspiring work. Overwhelmingly positive, Elfving instills confidence and can-do, proving the central role women have played in making the motorcycle a legitimate form of transportation, recreation, and motorsports
