Read the excerpt from Chapter 3 of Wheels of Change . In the 1890s, riding a bicycle in traditional clothing could be hazardous

to a woman's health. Witness this all-too-typical account of a female cyclist whose adventure came to an abrupt end: "The wind was behind me, the road good, with just the least bit of down-slope, and I was skimming along like a bird, when there was an awful tug at my dress and a cracking sound," recalled the unnamed woman, who was quoted in the journal Sporting Life in October 1891. "Before I knew what was the matter I found myself lying in the road with the safety on the top of me." Which best characterizes the effect of the woman wearing "traditional clothing"?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

What best characterizes the effect of the woman wearing "traditional clothing" is "Short term effect: the rider fell off the bicycle after her skirt got caught."

We are referring to the novel "Wheels of Change. How Women Rode the Bicycle for Freedom (With a Few Flat Tires Along the Way)," written by Sue Mercy. What the author doe in her book is showing the history of Women using the bicycle to do her things and fight for their freedom and rights.

Many historians feel that Harry Truman as much as Joe McCarthy gave force to the postwar “Red scare.” Explain why you agree or d
dusya [7]
Here is information that you could use to argue either side of this debate.

Agree
- One could argue that Harry Truman played a significant role in the Red Scare due to his speech to Congress regarding the Truman Doctrine. In this speech, he asks Congress to give financial assistance to countries like Greece and Turkey. He discusses how the fate of these countries, and other ones all over Europe, rest in the fate of the US. If the US does not help these countries, communism can take over. This could lead to repression and hard economic times for millions of people.

Disagree
- Even though he created the Truman Doctrine, Truman did not scare up nearly as much fear as Joe McCarthy. McCarthy accused hundreds of people of being communist, played a significant role in the growth of the House Un-American Activities Committee, and used fear tactics to scare individuals. Truman was not nearly as extreme in his fight against domestic communism.
