Welcome to this week’s Friday Book Giveaway! This week’s spotlight book is A Spanner in the Works – The extraordinary story of Alice Anderson and Australia’s first all-girl garage, written 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.
From her teenage years growing up in rural Victoria, learning to shoot and breaking in the family horse, Alice had a reputation as one of the most fearless, resourceful girls in the district.
For the first time, A Spanner in the Works brings to life the brief but extraordinary life of this pioneering Australian woman who should be considered nothing less than a national treasure.
