Details and History
The Library of Congress website offers a multitude of historical images, many with no known restrictions on use. This 1897 Strohmeyer & Wyman stereograph is titled The new woman - wash day. If one explores 1890's fashion the subjects appear to be wearing clothing appropriate to the opposing gender. However, the lady's outfit may be a proper cycling outfit which could include breeches. This image reflects an issue from the Gay Nineties (1890-1900) when gender stereotypes were challenged by the developing suffragette movement.
