Bikes and Bloomers: Victorian Women Inventors and Their Extraordinary Cycle Wear | Kat Jungnickel

Dr. Kat Jungnickel is a sociologist working in Science and Technology Studies. Her work Bikes & Bloomers investigated Victorian women’s convertible cycle wear. The research team combined archival research with the making of a range of garments, drawn from 1890s patents in collaboration with contemporary craft practitioners – an artist (Alice Angus), weaver (Dashing Tweeds), filmmaker (Britt Hatzius) and pattern cutter (Nadia Constantinou).
