But I have done that exact search. They're mostly guide books for women. A fair few of them are quite modern. What I'm more interested in is, for example... the links between bicycle and womens liberation... back in the late 19th century and early 20th... and the first women to excel at track racing, long distance races etc...

i shall have a look for beryl burton, I'm sure she's mentioned in the book 'one more kilometre and we're in the showers'... didnt she do amazingly well in a 12/24 hour race... falling asleep on the bike and stuff?
