Monaco’s motorsport roots date back to 1911 when Prince Albert I inaugurated the Rallye Monte-Carlo. Then, in 1929, a little car race around the streets of Monte Carlo became the Monaco Grand Prix, although it did not join the Formula One calendar until its inaugural season began in 1950. Yet women were driving motorsport in Monaco long before the Grand Prix circuit, winning the Coupe des Dames and Concours d’Elegance as early as the 1920s. 
 
100 Years of Women: Motorsport & Monaco is a series of stories of women written by women, inspiring glimpses into the lives of those who only see gender stereotypes in their rearview mirror.
 
This unprecedented compilation introduces readers to the names that made – and are making – women in motorsport in Monaco shine. Like veteran rally driver Michèle Mouton (the first to win a major rally title) and karting driver Ella Häkkinen (daughter of F1 legend Mika) to F1 Academy’s Susie Wolff and Amber Lounge founder Sonia Irvine.
 
The Spotlight Monaco chapter gives an insider's view like you've never read before. A community of race course directors, engineers, race marshals, educators, solicitors, influencers, TV presenters, film producers, journalists, founders of women-only rallies ... all deeply rooted in the Principality.
