In the summer of 1916, two sisters, named Angeline and Adelaide Hanson, desperately want to prove that women are capable of doing things. To do this, they figure that the best way is to ride motorbikes from New York to Los Angeles. Since women do not ride motorbikes, or travel across the U.S in them, what better way to prove women can do things just like men? Unfortunately, several mishaps follow them and make their destination seem unreachable. Will being put in a jail cell or getting lost in the Salt Lake dessert stop them? Read the book and find out! 

In the early 1900's, a woman does not have the right to vote. She stays at home, cooks and cleans, and only has the value of entertaining her husband. A woman is no more than a pretty face early in history. So what will the men think of the first women motorcycle dispatch riders? To prove to America that women can do it, sisters Angeline and Adelaide Hanson attempt to ride their motorbikes coast-to-coast across the United States. But their ride for rights becomes more challenging than expected when they are arrested, assaulted, abducted, and end up lost in the desert.

In this story we follow two sisters, Angeline and Adelaide Hanson, in their journey across the United States. The setting is the summer of 1916 when women are still treated as if they could not do the same things as men. The two sisters were determined to show that women are just as capable as men. Their chance came up when someone said that they should have women as motorcycle dispatch riders for the war. They jumped at the chance to prove themselves.
