Motor Girls: How Women Took the Wheel and Drove Boldly Into the Twentieth Century by Sue Macy

3.0

Fun older picture book/large chapter book showing women drivers (especially race drivers) during the beginning of the automotive age, and how society drove women out of racing because of a mix of misplaced chivalry (race organizers worried about the backlash if a woman crashed, even though they hadn't) and worries about losing. The text was a bit hard to read, being printed in a thin light font.
