Iron Horse Cowgirls - Louise Scherbyn and the Women Motorcyclists of the 1930s and 1940s

Before Louise Scherbyn founded the Women's International Motorcycle Association, she was simply a working girl who loved motorcycling--at a time when women weren't allowed to wear pants, roads weren't hard-topped, and handlebars didn't always remain attached while riding. After being forced out of every motorcycle auxiliary she joined, Louise realized and embraced her new lifelong mission. This book tells the fascinating story of Scherbyn's journey and her single, unifying vision for a women-only motorcycle association. Chapters cover 225,000 miles and two decades' worth of community-building, hostilities, physical and professional attacks, recovery, sisterhood and much more. Scherbyn paved the way for women motorcyclists across the world, riding into a storm of threats, uncertainties and newfound friends with a single, unifying vision for women who ride.
