I can't believe I'm doing this, but Grassroots Motorsports Magazine (this
was very hard for me to type) has an EXCELLENT feature article on this very
topic. I think it's in the Sept/Oct issue. I only have it because Per sent
it to me. I did not buy this in any bookstore (Barnes and Noble?) because I
would be grounded, but if you're interested, you really should check it out
before it's too late. The name of the author escapes me, but it's clear she
did a lot of research. It's a highly informative piece of work and worth
reading if you have any interest at all in the status and gains of women in
motorsports.
