On June 25, 1894, Annie Cohen Kopchovsky—a young mother of three
small children—defied convention by embarking from Boston on a
solo bicycle ride around the world.
During a time of women’s
liberation and Wild West outlaws, this daring adventurer told tales of
fighting off bandits in France, dodging bullets on a Chinese
battlefield, and trudging across the California desert with a broken
bike.
More than a century later, her great-grandnephew, Needham
resident Peter Zheutlin, discovered her forgotten and extraordinary
story, and wrote a soon-to-be-published book about this remarkable
woman, also known as “Annie Londonderry.”
