“The unknown attracts me.”

I think [the bicycle] has done more to emancipate women than any one thing in the world. I rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a bike. It gives her a feeling of self-reliance and independence the moment she takes her seat; and away she goes, the picture of untrammelled womanhood.

“The future will be a place where little boys don’t hesitate to play with makeup and dolls, and little girls won’t think twice about playing football under the sun or racing Hot Wheels. It will be a future where the difference between sex and gender is understood, where gender fluidity is not just accepted—but celebrated.”
