The American Motorcycle Girls was penned in the spirit of the women it commemorates, with grace and gumption.

Cris Sommer Simmons, something of an American motorcycle pioneer herself, has been collecting photographs of women motorcyclists for nearly thirty years. A long time rider, often on a Harley-Davidson, she has scoured photo collections across the country and spent hundreds of hours researching the contents of the photographs she has found.

This book is the best of her veritable treasure trove. "Charming" is the best word to describe each and every shot. Equally, one might say "informative" or even "evocative", but, in truth, this is a hugely significant work on the history of women in motorcycling.

Packed with rare photos and enlightening narration, The American Motorcycle Girls seeks to charm and inject readers with nostalgia for a surely bygone era.
