The Van Buren Sisters


Recommended Posts

Two remarkable young ladies:   "Gussie and Addie"   :rolleyes:

 

May be an image of motorcycle, outdoors and text that says 'PHOTO In 1916, Adeline and Augusta Van Buren became the first women to travel across the US on two solo motorcycles. They made it despite frequently being arrested for wearing pants.'

 

 

Adeline continued her career as an educator, and earned her law degree from New York University.  Augusta became a pilot and joined Amelia Earhart's Ninety-Nines international women's flying organization.  :)
