- Description: On June 25, 1894, Annie Cohen Kopchovsky, known as Annie Londonderry, a mother of three, embarked on an exceptional challenge by leaving from the Massachusetts State House in Boston. Mounting her Columbia bicycle, she launched into the daring enterprise of circumnavigating the globe, completing the journey in 15 months. Londonderry is often celebrated as the first woman to accomplish such a feat, becoming an icon of female independence and adventure. Despite her success and the fame that followed, some aspects of her journey have raised doubts and speculations. According to Peter Zheutlin in his 2007 book, the story of the bet that would have initiated Londonderry's journey might not have solid foundations, suggesting that the idea of the trip could have been an exaggeration or an invention for promotional purposes. Furthermore, it appears that Londonderry might not have completed the entire journey exclusively by bicycle. It is believed that part of her route was covered using alternative modes of transportation, such as ships and trains, especially to cross oceans and overcome insurmountable obstacles for a cyclist. This aspect, although it does not diminish the feat, raises questions about the traditional narrative of her journey and the actual methods by which it was accomplished

On June 25, 1894, Annie Cohen Kopchovsky, a young mother of three small children, stood before a crowd of 500 friends, family, suffragists, and curious onlookers at the Massachusetts State House. Then, declaring she would circle the world, she climbed onto a 42-pound Columbia bicycle and “sailed away like a kite down Beacon Street.”
