The inspiring story of every woman who has raced at the 24 Hours of Le Mans
Behind the glamour and prestige of Le Mans lies a remarkable history of courage, determination, and resilience.
With a foreword by Desiré Wilson, the only woman to win a race in the FIA World Championship, this landmark book celebrates the pioneers who challenged convention and earned their place in endurance racing history.
Since the race began in 1923, only sixty-six women have competed at Le Mans. Their achievements broke barriers and reshaped motorsport, yet many of their stories have never been fully told.
Inside you'll discover:
- The first complete history of the women who raced at Le Mans
- Inspiring stories spanning more than 100 years of endurance racing
- The pioneering drivers who opened the door for future generations
- Rare photographs, archival material, and family collections
- Exclusive interviews and original research by motorsport historian Lara Platman
From the glamorous pioneers of the interwar years to today's trailblazing Iron Dames, this beautifully illustrated book explores the people behind the helmets. It is a story of ambition, rivalry, friendship, innovation, and perseverance, told by an author who brings both historical expertise and firsthand racing experience.
