Yo, Alfonsina

Tuvo que irse de casa, tuvo que vestirse como un chico y luchar contra las convenciones sociales para competir, pero logró ser la primera mujer ciclista en participar en el Giro de Italia (1924). Conocida como la Reina del Pedal, hoy es un símbolo de lucha y resistencia. Alfonsina Strada had a passion for cycling since she was a child, so much so that she became a cyclist. She had to leave home, she had to dress like a boy and fight against social conventions to compete, but she managed to be the first female cyclist to participate in the Giro d'Italia (1924). Known as the Queen of the Pedal, today she is a symbol of struggle and resistance.
