The Van Buren Sisters vs. the Pants Police
The Van Buren Sisters vs. the Pants Police | J. F. Fox
1 post | 1 read
A true story about two sisters who skirted the rules - and made history! Addie and Gussie Van Buren were raised to ignore stuffy rules about women. When WWI broke out, the sisters believed women would make excellent battlefield messengers. They set out to prove this by driving motorbikes across the country, dressed sensibly in leather coats and pants. Only, this was 1916, and women didnt ride motorbikes. And women certainly did not wear pants! Zoom through history as these daring sisters change minds and challenge the fashion police, one pant leg at a time.

4 ⭐ Overall, It‘s about the Van Buren sisters, and how they dared ride across country on a motorbike wearing pants. This doesn‘t sound like anything now, but at the time they did this, it was very controversial. We can thank the Van Buren sisters for helping the movement of women‘s rights. And we can thank the publisher for making sure that this book is available for all to read and find out about these amazing sisters.
