“This exhibit would be the center of the entrance of the museum, a staircase. With women's achievements featured along the walkway. The bicycle symbolizes Riding Through History. I used AI, to help me create this image so the bicycle is not exactly like Frances Willard's bicycle named Glades. (Because it made her glad when she rode it). Visit franceswillardmuseum.org to see a photo of her bicycle.”
Frances E. Willard's "Do Everything" speech during the 1881 National Woman's Christian Temperance Convention. Her book on how she learned to ride a bicycle at age 53 at a time when women were told it was not safe for them to go out alone. Her words, "We have been so busy making history, we have not found time to record it." Fits with the museum's mission to document women's history. I am the Public Relations Director for the National WCTU. We are the owners of the Frances Willard Museum and the owners of the WCTU Archives in Evanston. We would love to share our history with you.
