Taking The Wheel
Virginia Scharff
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.
