Women on the Move: Tales of Bicycles, Bi-Planes, and Big Cars

Article sponsored by Ramapo Times Career Search

On Thursday, May 9, at 7:30 pm, the Mahwah Museum Lecture Series will present “Women on the Move: Tales of Bicycles, Bi-Planes and Big Cars,” by Carol W. Greene and Lindsey Greene Barrett at the Educational Building at the Ramapo Reformed Church, 100 Island Rd in Mahwah.

A transportation revolution began to transform the world in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The bicycle brought independent mobility to all who used it, especially women. Automobiles and airplanes challenged adventurous individuals to risk their lives as they competed with one another setting time and distance records. Brave women as well as men climbed into the driver’s seat or the cockpit every day, making history in motoring and flying.

This program, illustrated with vintage pictures, will highlight pioneers such as Alice Huyler Ramsey of Hackensack, NJ, first woman to drive coast-to-coast in 1909; Blanche Scott, who soloed in 1910, became a stunt pilot, and flew at Teterboro Airport; the extraordinary but little-known Beryl Markham, a contemporary of Amelia Earhart, who flew the Atlantic in 1936; and spectacular race car driver, Helle Nice. Barrett and Greene will provide interesting insights into these admirable personalities—truly heroines of their day, and will exhibit motoring and flying costumes worn in their exciting pursuits.  

Admission is $3.00 for non-members, members and children free.  Refreshments will be served.  To reserve seats for this lecture, email  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , contact www.mahwahmuseum.org or call 201-512-0099.

The Mahwah Museum receives operating support from the NJ Historical Commission in the Department of State.
