Step Aside, Mrs. Garage: Two Plucky Young Ladies Take Matters into Their Own Hands During a 1920s Motoring Mishap This photograph, sourced from the extensive archive of Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to the Roaring Twenties, an era of daring fashion, technological innovation, and newfound freedom for women. The image showcases two young, stylishly-dressed ladies, their faces etched with determination and concentration, as they tackle a seemingly daunting engine problem with their Austin car. The ladies, donning fashionable cloche hats and elegant dresses, embody the spirit of the times. The cloche hats, with their bell-shaped silhouettes, were all the rage during the 1920s, symbolizing modernity and a break from the past. The young women's determination to fix the engine themselves reflects the growing trend of women's involvement in motoring and transportation, as they increasingly gained independence and autonomy. The scene unfolds in a garage or a roadside stop, with tools and spare parts scattered around them. The bonnet of the Austin car is open, revealing the intricate workings of the engine. The ladies, with their gloved hands, appear to be examining the engine, trying to diagnose the issue. Their posture and expressions exude a sense of confidence and self-reliance, as they take charge of the situation. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, illustrating the intersection of fashion, history, and the spirit of innovation during the 1920s. It reminds us of the resilience and resourcefulness of women, as they embraced new opportunities and challenges, and the enduring allure of the open road and the thrill of motoring.
