Since the early days of General Motors, there have been women—known and unknown—who have had vital roles in design, engineering, manufacturing, and administration. In this follow-up to Damsels in Design, her book on women automotive designers from 1939-1959, Constance Smith presents profiles of and interviews with more than 100 women who have steered the course of General Motors for almost 100 years. The women featured include:
- Bonnie Lemm, the first woman designer-engineer at GM
- Helene Rother, the first woman automobile and transportation designer hired by GM''s Styling Department in the 1940s
- Suzanne Vanderbilt, the holder of numerous industrial design patents and the designer of the first adjustable lumbar seat supports
- Mary Barra, who became GM''s chair and CEO in 2016
Readers will meet these remarkable achievers and discover how they took on a male-dominated industry—and triumphed.
