Head-to Head History
Written by J. F. Fox, Illustrated by Anna Kwan
What do you think you would do if you had a desire to do something courageous, but there were laws against you doing it? The Van Buren sisters were not typical of the girls in the late 1800s. They wanted to participate in all kinds of sports, including boxing, but most of all they enjoyed motorbiking. As war broke out, Addie and Gussie wanted to help their country. In order to show their abilities, they decided to motorbike across the country. On their journey, they encountered laws that said they couldn’t wear pants. Do you think they let that stop them? Read and find out!
