EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to the thrilling world of motor racing in the 1950s. The image captures a remarkable moment as a fearless female racing driver prepares for an exhilarating race at Goodwood motor circuit on 28 May 1955. With her helmet firmly in place and hands gripping the steering wheel, she exudes confidence and determination. Her eyes reflect a steely focus, ready to conquer any challenge that lies ahead on the track. This pioneering woman defied societal norms of the time, fearlessly pursuing her passion for speed and competition. The historic significance of this photograph is undeniable. It stands as a testament to both gender equality progress and motorsport history. Breaking barriers with every lap she completed, this female driver showcased her skill and talent amidst a male-dominated sport. Preserved within the Chichester Photographic Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this print serves as a powerful reminder of how far we have come in promoting inclusivity within traditionally male-dominated fields. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, let us celebrate not only the bravery and tenacity of this remarkable woman but also acknowledge all those who paved the way for future generations of female drivers to follow their dreams behind the wheel.
