EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of female empowerment in the world of motor racing during the 1930s. In this historic image, we see Kaye Petre, a renowned British racing driver, standing proudly on the left, accompanied by Elsie Wisdom at Brooklands. The creator of this snapshot remains unknown but has immortalized these two trailblazing women in their element. Dressed in classic overalls and donning her helmet, Kaye Petre exudes confidence and determination as she prepares to conquer the male-dominated realm of motorsport. Her counterpart, Elsie Wisdom, stands beside her with an air of grace and strength that reflects her own passion for speed. Brooklands Motor Racing Circuit serves as a backdrop to this powerful moment frozen in time. Located in Weybridge, Surrey England, it was a hub for adrenaline-fueled races during its heyday. This vintage photograph transports us back to an era when motor racing was still considered unconventional for women. As we admire this remarkable image from the 20th century, let us celebrate these extraordinary women who defied societal norms and paved the way for future generations of female racers. Their legacy lives on through their courage and unwavering love for sport - forever inspiring others to break barriers and chase their dreams on wheels.
