This book really was a history of the automobile as it pertained to women in particular. I found the gender bias of the times very interesting and it was cool to see early women pioneers using cars. My favorite section was the discussion of motor girls and the right to vote.
The book was pretty short - only 96 pages - and I wish there had been more about some of the women and I wish it had gone farther than the 1920s and 1930s. I know even when I was growing up in the 1970s and early 80s we only had one car for a long time and my mom did not pump gas. It would have been interesting to see statistics and more of the changes over time.
