Sandy Myhre, founder of the Women’s World Car of the Year awards, has released a new memoir that highlights the often overlooked contributions of women in the automotive industry. Titled *One Lady Owner: Memoirs of a Motoring Madam*, the book seeks to address the gender imbalance in motoring literature by sharing personal experiences and historical accounts relating to women’s roles in the field.

Myhre’s memoir delves into the stories of notable female figures who have made significant impacts on the automotive world. Among those featured are racing drivers Michele Mouton, Suzi Wolff, and Sabine Schmitz, all of whom have competed at high levels in a traditionally male-dominated sport. The book also highlights pioneering innovators such as Astrid Linder from Sweden, recognized for developing the first female test crash dummy, a breakthrough in vehicle safety testing designed to better protect women drivers.

Through *One Lady Owner*, Myhre not only reflects on her own journey but also sheds light on the broader historical context, demonstrating how women have influenced and shaped the motoring sector despite limited recognition. The memoir aims to inspire greater awareness and appreciation of women’s contributions in an industry where their presence has often been marginalized.
