EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to the thrilling world of motorsport in the 1920s. The image captures Kitty Brunell, a trailblazing woman mechanic, hard at work on her Singer Junior during the prestigious Monte Carlo Rally of January 1928. The photograph showcases Kitty's determination and passion as she meticulously tends to her beloved car. Dressed in practical overalls, she is a striking figure amidst a male-dominated profession. Her presence challenges societal norms of the time and serves as an inspiration for women breaking barriers in traditionally male fields. Bill Brunell skillfully captures his wife's dedication to her craft against the backdrop of vintage cars and tools that surround her. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and nostalgia to this snapshot from automotive history. This remarkable image not only celebrates Kitty Brunell's role as a rally driver but also highlights her exceptional skills as a mechanic. It reminds us that even in an era when gender roles were strictly defined, there were pioneering women like Kitty who fearlessly pursued their passions and left an indelible mark on their chosen field. Today, this photograph stands proudly within the National Motor Museum collection, serving as a testament to female empowerment and resilience in both motoring and professional spheres.
