Thesis (M.A.)--Sarah Lawrence College, 2013.

The innovations in transportation technology, especially surrounding rapid transit in New York City, around the turn of the century are a major theme and general narrative in the development of the United States, yet it is not something that historians of women have explored. This thesis looks at women's emancipation and independence through the lens of advanced transportation, specifically the bicycle and the subway system, in New York City between 1890 and World War I. The bicycle, the precursor to modern transportation and symbol of female emancipation, and the Subway, the first electrified underground in the country, both evoked serious discussion of women's morality and women's propriety and place. This paper also looks at the dangers and controversies surrounding these modes of transportation and concludes that these warnings were thinly disguised efforts to keep women in their traditional, Victorian gender roles.
