I received this book for Christmas from my husband. I absolutely love it! It is a big, heavy book with lots of great pictures and stories in it. It was so much fun to learn about these adventurous ladies who opened the path for women motorcycle riders. This made me even more excited about learning to ride! I highly recommend this book but too wish that it had been printed in the USA and not in China. Surely, we have a book manufacturer here that could do just as good of a job.

Great book on some extraordinary women motorcycles riders. Stories are wonderful and easy to read. The only thing I didn’t like is this book was printed in China! I want books and products made in USA, or anywhere but China!

I just picked up a copy of The American Motorcycle Girls at the Springfield Museum. This is an exceptional book from both a quality and content perspective. If you enjoy motorcycling history, with lots of pictures from days gone by, do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of this book. I have loads of great books on the history of motorcycles, racing, etc, and this one is certainly among the best. Lots of pictures, and quite a comprehensive history (concisely written) of great achuievements by early bikers – that, in this case, happen to be women – making some of the achievements even more impressive when you consider the circumstances that they dealt with in their endeeavours. Clearly the writer of this book has much regard for the history of mororcycling and has made a great contribution to the available information. A very enjoyable read. . . and an outstanding collection of photographs.
