"“Women Behind the Wheel is a joyous combination of autobiography, history and romance. Nancy A. Nichols celebrates the way cars made the modern world and defined the lives of modern women. Witty, moving and impassioned, this book leads women triumphantly into the once male-dominated automotive space.” -- <B>Bryan Appleyard, author of <I>The Car</I></B> Praise for Nancy A. Nichols and Lake Effect ""A chilling indictment of how government and big business prized profits over health and a moving tale of one woman's struggle to understand why."" * <I>People</I> * ""Engaging and well-told."" * <i>The Washington Post Book World</i> * ""I read this book like a desert hiker drinks water—in great, thankful gulps.

And then she proves it."" * Sandra Steingraber, biologist and author of ""Living Downstream"" * ""A fast-moving, urgent narrative. * <I>Publishers Weekly</I> *"
