EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era in motor racing. The image showcases Elsie Wisdom, accompanied by Kaye Petre, as they stand confidently in the pits at Brooklands. Both women exude an air of determination and passion for their sport. The 1930s setting adds to the charm and nostalgia of this classic photograph. Dressed in fashionable overalls and donning helmets, Elsie Wisdom and Kaye Petre challenge societal norms with their involvement in a male-dominated field. Their presence on the motor racing circuit is a testament to their courage and skill. Brooklands, located in Weybridge, Surrey, England, was renowned as one of the most prestigious motor racing venues during that time. This historic track witnessed countless thrilling races that captivated audiences from all walks of life. Although the creator remains unknown, this print has found its way into our hands through time's passage. Preserved within it are stories waiting to be told about these remarkable women who defied expectations and blazed trails for future generations. As we admire this vintage piece from the National Motor Museum collection, we are reminded of how far society has come since then while also recognizing that there is still progress to be made towards gender equality in sports today.
