EDITORS COMMENTS
Mademoiselle Maurice Mozette, now Mrs. Frederick Lothrop Ames of Boston, Massachusetts, demonstrates her mechanical prowess during her visit to Los Angeles, California in the 1930s. Dressed in a stylish turban and a simple blouse, Mademoiselle Mozette confidently works on changing a tire on her motorcar. Her expertise in motor maintenance was well-known in French motor racing circles, where she made a name for herself as a skilled and determined racer. During her visit to the United States, Mademoiselle Mozette continued to turn heads with her unconventional approach to gender roles. At a time when women were rarely seen working on cars, let alone racing them, her presence in a garage was a sight to behold. Yet, she handled the situation with grace and poise, demonstrating that women were just as capable as men when it came to motor transport. The image captures a moment of quiet determination as Mademoiselle Mozette focuses on her task, her expression serious and intent. The tire iron in her hand and the spare tire at her feet are testament to her practicality and resourcefulness. The scene is set against the backdrop of a garage, with tools and equipment scattered around, adding to the sense of industry and purpose. Mrs. Ames' visit to Los Angeles was a brief one, but it left a lasting impression on those who witnessed her skills and tenacity. Her ability to challenge gender norms and prove her worth in a male-dominated field paved the way for future generations of female mechanics and racers. This photograph serves as a reminder of her groundbreaking achievements and the impact she had on the world of motoring.
