Motorcycle Meet, 1947

Although less than 15% of motorcyclists in the U.S. today are women, female bikers have a long history. The founding of Motor Maids chapters in the 1930s gave women the chance to share their enthusiasm for motorcycles and bond with other female riders. This mother-daughter duo look happy and at home during a motorcycle meet in Laconia, New Hampshire, in 1947.

  1. The lady on the right is Dot Robinson, an absolute legend in the motorcycle world. On the left is her daughter Betty. Guys used to tell of competing against her in "hare and hound" races. She was often so far ahead that she by the time they finished, she had already showered and dressed up for dinner.
