520    "In the 1890s, times were tough, and opportunities for 
       women were few and far between. When mother-of-three Annie
       Londonderry saw an ad promising $10,000 to a woman who 
       could cycle around the world in a year, something no one 
       thought possible, she decided it was time to learn to 
       ride. She waved goodbye to her family in Boston and set 
       off for Chicago. Annie was exhausted when she arrived 
       fifty-nine days later--and she realized she'd never make 
       it across the Rockies before winter, and certainly not 
       riding a heavy women's bike and wearing a corset and 
       petticoats. So Annie got herself a better bicycle and 
       comfortable bloomers, and headed back East to try a 
       different route. Facing robbers, sprained ankles, and 
       disapproving stares, Annie missed her family and wanted to
       quit. But she journeyed on, all over the world. And, when 
       she finally reached California and the Southwest, she kept
       pedaling. Her family was counting on the prize money, and 
       people around the world, especially women, were watching. 
       Annie came through for all of them, arriving in Chicago 
       fourteen days before her deadline and proving that women 
       could do just about anything."--|cPublisher's website.
