Description: In this engaging mix of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, editor Elinor Nauen, who grew up thinking cars and driving were among the coolest (and hottest!) things in the world, presents the female perspective on that most Western (and typically masculine) of icons. Pieces by more than sixty of the twentieth century's most popular women writers, including Eudora Welty, Jayne Anne Phillips, Carolyn Cassady, and Gail Mazur reveal the deep, intimate connections between women and cars.
