(4) 4-6 Macy explores the intersection of automotive history and women's rights in this image-packed volume. An overview of the rise of the personal automobile focuses on women's access to cars, while interspersed accounts of early motor races spotlight talented female drivers. Macy maintains an entertainingly upbeat tone throughout, but oversized sidebars pad this slim book with too much tangential trivia. Reading list, websites. Ind.
