Book Description
This book is a comprehensive history and celebration of the Women’s International Motorcycle Association (WIMA), tracing its journey from its founding in 1950 by American motorcyclist Louise Scherbyn to the present day. Building on the work of Frances Popley, who compiled the first 30-year history of WIMA in 1980 (known as the Pearl Booklet), the editors expand the scope to include every current division, key milestones, and the personalities who have shaped and led the organization.

Blending archival research, personal experiences, and international perspectives, the book captures WIMA’s spirit of camaraderie, resilience, and empowerment. It highlights the challenges and triumphs of women who forged their place in motorcycling, while showcasing modern members who continue to carry the legacy forward.

More than a historical account, this digital edition serves as a living document—one that can be updated and added to in the future. It is both a tribute to pioneers like Frances Popley and a testament to the freedom, independence, and community that WIMA has given women riders around the world for over seven decades.
