I was born in 1959.
Some women react strangely to the term "feminist". They don't want to describe themselves as such but if you took away their right to vote, to determine their life path, right to education, equal pay..you'll hear something from them.
An all women's cycling group is less unusual these days compared to 15 years ago. But depends on which part of North America. Cyclists are just still odd in certain areas.
I agree with Bleeckergirl's comments that some women do trivialize their own freedoms...which were hard won by the previous generation(s).
I would like to think every woman at some point of their lives, recognizes the aha time/moments of becoming the best of what they are...and helping other people along the way.
Do you bike often?
