Talk: History of Women in Formula 1 [Collins Garden SAPL]

  • Collins Garden Library 200 North Park Boulevard San Antonio, TX, 78204 United States (map)

For more than 70 years, Formula 1 has been one of the most exclusive — and challenging — arenas in global sport. And while over 1,000 drivers have entered a Grand Prix, only five of them have been women.

But who were these women? How did they get to F1? And what barriers stood in their way? 

Join award-winning motorsport historian Elizabeth Blackstock for an exploration into the fascinating lives of F1’s fastest women. Among them are Olympians, kidnapping victims, and LGBTQ+ trailblazers who all had one goal in mind: racing on the world’s biggest stage.

This event will take place at the Collins Garden branch of the San Antonio Public Library system.
