Taking the Wheel

Autorentext
Virginia Scharff

Klappentext
Though millions of women drive regularly, the image of the flighty "woman driver" continues to stigmatize their abilities. Scharff travels back in time to explore how the first automobiles collided with cultural and sexual notions of feminine nature and how women have influenced the car industry as a whole.

Zusammenfassung
The twentieth century rise of the automobile collided head on with Victorian prescriptions for the proper role and place of women in society. Gender conventions cast women as too weak, dependent and flighty to manage the fiery motorised beast. Written with flair and verve, this volume displays Scharff's erudition in social, cultural, gender, and technological history.
