Eight Women, Two Model Ts, And The American West

By Joanne Wilke

"Wilke writes about a grand and adventurous trip taken in 1924 by her grandmother, great-aunt, and six other young women. The eight small-town girls all drove in two Model-T Fords from Iowa to California and back. They had little if any prior driving experience and none at all with repairs. The roads were often unpaved and there was no such thing as a motel, but these strong-minded women succeeded in fulfilling their desire to see something of the world. ... The author intersperses her childhood recollections of summers spent on her grandparents' farm with the details of the trip, which helps to bring these on-the-road women into modern-day focus. Students at Iowa Teachers College, these extraordinary women were full of ambitions for life beyond what was then expected of females. Entertaining and inspiring." (Booklist Reviews)
