Live dangerously (UPDATE: posed picture)

It’s great to be a woman and it’s great to live in the exciting 1930s! At least that’s what novelist and scenario writer May Edgington wrote in her short story for the magazine “Modern Woman”. In the story she tries to find out who these “dangerously living” women are. Although both accompanying pictures and front page of the magazine show adventurous women like Amy Johnson and Elsie Wisdom, May Edginton arrives at another conclusion: she is not “…the beautiful, not the rich or the exceptionally talented woman. It is the quiet woman with the very female smile and the understanding eye… She is a woman who has the rare temperament to be herself.”

UPDATE by Richard Armstrong: "The picture in the article of Elsie Wisdom and Joan Richmond is - quite obviously - posed, but the caption is rather deceptive too, in that drivers in the 1000 Miles ran solo. So this is probably a photo call after the event, with 'Bill' (as Elsie was known) and Joan there to please the press."
