Motorcycle Queen<\/em>

\n@ Amazon<\/a> | Bookshop<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> 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 \u201cMotorcycle Queen,\u201d but her story has often been overlooked. (In 1941, she even served her country on a blue Harley-Davidson driving across Europe in World War II.)<\/p>\n
