Kat Jungnickel is a senior lecturer for sociology at Goldsmiths, University of London. Her research is concerned with mobilities, digital cultures, gender relations and grassroots hands-on DiY and DiT (Do-It-Together) technology communities.
Kat discusses her new book “Bikes and Bloomers: Victorian Women Inventors and their Extraordinary Cycle Wear”. The bicycle in Victorian Britain is often celebrated as a vehicle of women’s liberation. Less noted is another critical technology with which women forged new and mobile public lives – cycle wear. Drawing on in-depth archival research and inventive practice, she brings to life in rich detail the little-known stories of several inventors of the 1890s.

It's amazing what clever things people came up with to solve the incompatibility of skirts and bicycles. I especially loved the demonstration she did with her own skirt!
What happens when you let people study the most idiotic subjects, because of leftist feminism… because cyclewear is also opressing women..what a load of bullshit. Again its men being evil, now about how to dress on a fucking bike. Stfu…
Her accent sounds Australian to me. Am I wrong?
