There was a series of books published between 1910-1913 called “The Automobile Girls” by Laura Dent Crane, about girls driving various places (Washington D.C., the Berkshires, etc.) I saw one of them in a used bookstore years ago, and glanced at it. The father of one of the girls laughed at the idea of them driving anywhere. “Next you’ll be wanting to vote!” he chuckled.
The girls’ response? “Oh Daddy, don’t be silly.”
He did let them go on the trip, though.
