EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1937, between the wars, as Miss Amy Johnson prepares for her first ever motorcar competition - the prestigious Monte Carlo Rally. Known primarily as an accomplished airwoman, Miss Johnson is now venturing into the world of motorcar contests with great determination. Alongside her stand two remarkable women drivers, Mrs A C Lace and Mrs Thomas Wisdom. Together, they form a formidable team ready to conquer the challenges that lie ahead in their shared Darracq car. The rain pouring down on them at Brooklands adds an element of drama to this historic moment captured by Planet News press photography. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that these women possess a fierce spirit of adventure and a desire to break boundaries in male-dominated arenas. Their presence challenges societal norms and inspires countless others who dream of defying expectations. This monochrome image serves as a testament not only to Miss Amy Johnson's courage but also to the indomitable spirit of all women striving for equality and recognition. It reminds us that history is shaped by those who dare to pursue their passions fearlessly. Thanks to TopFoto. co. uk's preservation efforts, we can still appreciate this iconic photograph today and draw inspiration from these trailblazing women who paved the way for future generations.
