The image depicts a moment frozen in time as they prepare to leave the bustling Place de la Concorde in Paris for their first stage of the Eighth annual International Rally for women. The anticipation is palpable as these fearless drivers set off on a challenging journey from Paris to St Rephael, covering a distance of 138 miles. In this snapshot, we see Miss Biddel posing confidently beside her sleek MG car before commencing her exhilarating race towards Nevers.
