Abstract
AbstractContradicting 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’.
