EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the spirit of adventure as British women competitors embark on the French motor rally. Among them are Miss Jackie Astbury, Miss L Haig, and the renowned English woman motorist, Miss E M Biddel. 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. Taken on 2nd March 1936, this monochrome photograph evokes nostalgia for an era between the wars when women were breaking barriers and defying societal norms. It showcases their determination and passion for motorsports at a time when female participation was still relatively rare. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk, this historic image serves as a testament to these pioneering women who fearlessly pursued their love for racing against all odds. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of European press photography from the thirties, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment that forever changed perceptions about gender roles in sports.
