A Spanner in the Works

By Loretta Smith

The never-before-told story of Alice Anderson, entrepreneur and pioneer, who established the first motor service in Australia run entirely by women.

Alice would never be limited by societal expectation. At twenty, she founded Miss Anderson’s Motor Service and, through the last years of the Great War and into the 1920s, pulled off an almost impossible feat: without family or husband to back her financially, she grew her business from a fledgling touring service to an all-women motor garage. She was the embodiment of the 1920s modern woman. (Hachette, 2019)
