This study is centered on women and bicycles. The§historical-archival analysis of primary and secondary§sources reveals the patterns of discrimination of§women, their disqualification from participation in§public sphere as well as professional sport. This§work displays how the newly invented bicycle was§perceived as a threat to traditional gender roles and§obtained a name of social revolutionizer. Through§the analysis of textual and visual publications I§examine how the bicycle was re-contextualized in§Lithuania and gendered within the popular discourse§of mass media from the time of its emergence until§its appropriation for women. The results of my§research prove the assumption that the shift in§discourses actually means only the alteration of§form. The institutionalized mechanisms of discipline§became institutionally unbound, dispersed power§embodied in self-surveillance and beauty practices.
