Females are getting warmed up to Motorsports - Geraldine Read

It wouldn’t be a overstatement to suggest that the number of females within the Motorsports industry is on the rise, though it’s still considerably difficult for them to break into the industry. From societal perception, to tangible discrimination within the male-dominated industry, there’s plenty of obstacles for them to deal with.

 

Geraldine Read is someone who has battled these elements for sheer sake of pursuing her dreams. She’s been discriminated for having a ‘pretty face’, she’s faced numerous driving stereotypes that are often attached to women, and she’s had to work hard to gain the trust of sponsors, who can be skeptical of women within the industry.
