Power Under Her Foot: Women Enthusiasts of American Muscle Cars<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since their introduction in 1964, American muscle cars have been closely associated with the male driver. In the 21st century, women have become a growing presence in the muscle car community, exhibiting classic cars at automotive events and rumbling to work in modern-day Mustangs, Camaros, and Challengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gathered from the experiences of 88 female muscle car enthusiasts, Power Under Her Foot: Women Enthusiasts of American Muscle Cars<\/em> highlights women\u2019s admiration and passion for American muscle, examines how restoring, driving, and showing classic and modern cars provides a means to challenge longstanding perceptions of women drivers, and reveals how muscle car ownership can serve as an important source of female identity, well-being, and empowerment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reviews<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Eighty-eight female American muscle car enthusiasts were interviewed for this volume, which is full of individual stories and photos of the women and their cars…. Lezotte has found an untapped niche in the area of women and muscle cars…. It was refreshing to examine a book about women drivers that is not a guidebook, handbook, or manual claiming to provide everything a woman should know about car maintenance or operation…. recommended. <\/p>Choice Connect<\/em> 56.4 December 2018.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

You don’t have to be a gender-identity scholar to find this topic fascinating, and this book an important read. <\/p>Mark McCourt. HEMMINGS MUSCLE MACHINES<\/em>. September 2018, 12.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Mobilizing her ‘Motor City upbringing’, ‘advertising career’, as well as graduate and post-graduate research, Chris Lezotte documents a significant, yet largely unrecognized, cohort in muscle car culture: women drivers and, later, owners… Power Under Her Foot<\/em> explores how respondents\u2019 passions have been expressed, as well as limited and shaped, by car culture\u2019s hegemonic masculinity and how conservative feminist investments have enabled traditional domestic and familial responsibilities to coexist with car culture\u2019s opportunities for excitement, freedom, and individual expression. <\/p>Dorothy Woodman. The Independent Scholar<\/em>. August 2019, 89-90.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
