About this book

The Woman and the Car: A Chatty Little Handbook for the Edwardian Motoriste (Old House) by Levitt, Dorothy. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781908402875.

The Woman and the Car is a faithfully reproduced, quirky classic from the dawn of motoring - and a testament to womankinds perennial claim on the steering wheel! Take a spin through a time - 1909 to be exact - when no right-thinking lady would consider solo motoring without her revolver, and when the installation of a secret compartment for powder-puff was de rigeur. In the vintage drivers seat of this chatty little handbook is record-breaking Edwardian motoriste Dorothy Levitt, exhorting the budding lady driver to approach the newfangled contraption without fear and reassuring those who believed it was impossible to look anything but hideous when in an automobile.
