Product Description
The automobile collided head on with gender in the early twentieth century. Women struggled as hard to overcome the stereotype of the flighty driver as they did to win access to the vote, higher education, and the professions. The gender debate influenced Detroits automotive design, engineering, marketing, and sales. Virginia Scharff shows how gender categories seeped into and shaped every corner of our culture, including the automobile.
