Abstract
Contradicting heteropatriarchal romance narratives in the historical archive, Bachman-Sanders reads the diary of a woman cyclist from Leeds, UK written between 1893 and 1896 against the grain to reveal an identity for the diarist that is relationally and spatially constructed. She utilises feminist inter-subjective reading practices and a queer interpretive framework to investigate the personal, genealogical, geographical and historical context surrounding this diary and to interrogate her own attachment to the research subject. Bachman-Sanders produces a collection of images and maps that explore the intimate connections and non-linearity of bicycle tourism and feminist historical research, pushing the limits of the ‘queer object’.
期刊介绍：
Gender & History is now established as the major international journal for research and writing on the history of femininity and masculinity and of gender relations. Spanning epochs and continents, Gender & History examines changing conceptions of gender, and maps the dialogue between femininities, masculinities and their historical contexts. The journal publishes rigorous and readable articles both on particular episodes in gender history and on broader methodological questions which have ramifications for the discipline as a whole.
