Women Behind the Wheels: The Ever-Growing Role of Women in Motorsports

Through both research and photography, I aim to explore the increasing role of women in motorsports. I plan to incorporate research and interviews as well as action shots and portraits taken of women in their roles into a larger work that combines art and research, culminating in a book and an installation in the arts building. I plan to complete this project with the foundational guiding questions of: How has recent growth in media affected the role women play in motorsports? What problems do women face working in a male dominated industry such as this? What routes did prominent women in motorsports take to get where they are now? What is the outlook for women in motorsports?
