A young woman sits at the wheel of an automobile in this c1921 photograph, one of the period's images of women taking up driving. By the early 1920s, cars had become common in American households, and many women were learning to drive them for errands, travel, and independence, even as driving was still often pictured as a male pursuit. The copyright notice naming F.C. Quimby indicates the picture was registered for publication, so it was likely made to circulate as a commercial image of modern life.
