I could paraphrase this interesting article on “fast ladies”, or I could just tease you with this beautiful portrait of Mildred Bruce, who went to the arctic circle, flew planes, set records driving Bentleys and raced with her pearl necklace.

She is even said to be the first woman arrested for speeding!

Isn’t it sexy?

In fact, her face and direct look are more than sexy, they’re fascinating. And reminiscent of the equally beautiful and incredible Amelia Earhart. With the added bonus of freckles…

Anyway, you can go read the article titled “Thoughts on Fast Ladies” or go buy the Fast Ladies book. Or do both.

And visit the website, because it’s full of interesting and fun facts about classic cars, if you’re into these classic beauties.

Enjoy the discoveries.
