When Annie Londonderry, Jewish wife and mother of three, departed from the Boston State House, travelling with only a change of clothes and a pearl-hand revolver, she was actually embarking upon a journey that would embody three of the most powerful social movements of the 1890s: the women’s movement for social equality, the bicycle craze and globalisation.
