Around The World On Two Wheels by Peter Zheutlin
For more than a century, the story of the audacious and charismatic Annie Kopchovsky and her attempt to circle the world by wheel has been lost to history. Who was this mysterious young woman on a bike? How did she manage, in the 1890s, to make a trip around the world by bicyle? What was she like? How did she free herself from the social constraints that surrounded women of the Victorian era to undertake such an adventure? And how did an anonymous working-class Jewish mother fromthe tenements of Boston's West End transform herself into an internationally renowned globe-trotter?Around the World on Two Wheels is written by Peter Zheutlin, a freelance journalist whose work has featured in the Boston Globe and the Christian Science Monitor on a regular basis. Peter has also contributed to magazines such as the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, AARP The Magazine, and others. He is a resident of Needham, Massachusetts.
