The car could not have come at a better time. Western women, or at least some of them, were actually able to leave the house. Also, even though it was considered advanced and rather risky, no one had time yet to make driving an exclusively male enterprise. Clarsen (history and politics, U. of Wollongong) provides case studies from across the US, the UK, Australia and colonial Africa. Focusing on the period before 1930 she shows how women embraced automotive technology in their natural and cultural context as drivers, mechanics, and taxi drivers. She describes the dilemmas of the woman motorist, the ladies' car, American automobiles and a suffrage of consumption, Australian women on the go, and the feminine mastery of machines venturing from the Cape to Cairo.

The history of the automobile would be incomplete without considering the influence of the car on the lives and careers of women in the earliest decades of the twentieth century. Illuminating the relationship between women and cars with case studies from across the globe, Eat My Dust challenges the received wisdom that men embraced automobile technology more naturally than did women.

Georgine Clarsen highlights the personal stories of women from the United States, Britain, Australia, and colonial Africa from the early days of motoring until 1930. She notes the different ways in which these women embraced automobile technology in their national and cultural context. As mechanics and taxi drivers-like Australian Alice Anderson and Brit Sheila O'Neil-and long-distance adventurers and political activists-like South Africans Margaret Belcher and Ellen Budgell and American suffragist Sara Bard Field-women sought to define the technology in their own terms and according to their own needs. They challenged traditional notions of femininity through their love of cars and proved they were articulate, confident, and mechanically savvy motorists in their own right.

More than new chapters in automobile history, these stories locate women motorists within twentieth-century debates about class, gender, sexuality, race, and nation.

Recenzijas

This is an extremely interesting book in that it provides the reader with a different perspective on the automobile age and what it meant to women as well as society as a whole... A must-have book for anyone interested in women's history. The photographs of various women traveling or involved in mechanical work are a great addition as well. It is a fascinating look at the way that cars freed many women and started us on the path to greater 'mechanical' equality with men. -- Marcia A. Lusted Academia 2008 Georgine Clarsen has produced a fascinating account of women motorists in the first three decades of the automobile age. Her crisp and elegant prose takes the reader on a speedy trip over a wide range of terrain, indicating the importance of the car in the cultural politics of the early 20th century. -- Sean O'Connell Reviews in History 2009 Presents an excellent case study of the ways in which new technologies take on gendered meanings in the process of their social integration... Highly readable book. -- Anne Clendinning American Historical Review 2009 For anyone wanting to fully understand early automotive history, this book is a necessary read. -- Dennis E. Horvath Cruise-in.com 2009 This study holds great value, helping readers to appreciate the rich history of women's involvement in things mechanical... Recommended. Choice 2009 Eat My Dust stands as an impressive account of women's engagement with numerous aspects of automobile culture and thus with the ways that technology shapes and is shaped by concerns of gender, race, and the body. -- Deborah Clarke Technology and Culture
