Conclusion: The Politics of Patenting (or How to Change the World One Garment at a Time)British Cycle Wear Patents 1890-1900; Notes; Bibliography; Figures; Index. 330 $aAn illustrated history of the evolution of British women's 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. This illustrated account of women's cycle wear from Goldsmiths Press brings together Victorian engineering and radical feminist invention to supply a missing chapter in the history of feminism. Despite its benefits, cycling was a material and ideological minefield for women. Conventional fashions were unworkable, with skirts catching in wheels and tangling in pedals. Yet wearing "rational" cycle wear could provoke verbal and sometimes physical abuse from those threatened by newly mobile women. Seeking a solution, pioneering women not only imagined, made, and wore radical new forms of cycle wear but also patented their inventive designs. The most remarkable of these were convertible costumes that enabled wearers to transform ordinary clothing into cycle wear. Drawing on in-depth archival research and inventive practice, Kat Jungnickel brings to life in rich detail the little-known stories of six inventors of the 1890s. Alice Bygrave, a dressmaker of Brixton, registered four patents for a skirt with a dual pulley system built into its seams. Julia Gill, a court dressmaker of Haverstock Hill, patented a skirt that drew material up the waist using a mechanism of rings or eyelets. Mary and Sarah Pease, sisters from York, patented a skirt that could be quickly converted into a fashionable high-collar cape. Henrietta Mu?ller, a women's rights activist of Maidenhead, patented a three-part cycling suit with a concealed system of loops and buttons to elevate the skirt. And Mary Ann Ward, a gentlewoman of Bristol, patented the "Hyde Park Safety Skirt," which gathered fabric at intervals using a series of side buttons on the skirt. Their unique contributions to cycling's past continue to shape urban life for contemporary mobile women. 606 $aWomen's clothing 615 0$aWomen's clothing. 676 $a646.34 700 $aJungnickel$b Katrina$01185786 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910725064103321 996 $aBikes and bloomers$92748812 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02428nam 2200613 450 001 9910787172303321 005 20230803040006.0 010 $a1-61797-558-3 010 $a1-61797-557-5 035 $a(CKB)3710000000244821 035 $a(EBL)1793196 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001375795 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11807284 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001375795 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11361207 035 $a(PQKB)11126289 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1793196 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1791140 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6242566 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6242566 035 $a(OCoLC)1193130681 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000244821 100 $a20220521d2013 uy 1 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aHouse of the wolf $ean Egyptian novel /$fEzzat El Kamhawi ; translated by Nancy Roberts 210 1$aCairo, Egypt ;$aNew York, New York :$cThe American University in Cairo Press,$d[2013] 210 4$dİ2013 215 $a1 online resource (280 p.) 225 1 $aModern Arabic Literature 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-322-15053-2 311 $a977-416-620-5 327 $aHalftitle Page -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Text Begins -- Glossary. 330 $aWinner of the 2012 Naguib Mahfouz Medal for Literature, this novel is set in an idyllic Egyptian village from the time it was discovered by Muhammad Ali's mission in the early nineteenth century to the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, movingly intertwining events on the world scene with the life dramas of its protagonists. The story opens with the pivotal character, Mubarka al-Fuli, now a grandmother and matriarch, wanting to dictate a letter to God for her grandson to send to the Almighty by email.
