alice ramseyOn June 9, 1909, before paved highways or power steering, gas stations or GPS, a 22-year-old Hackensack, N.J., housewife set off from Broadway to boldly go where no woman had gone before: A drive across the U.S. After two months, a dozen flat tires, and 3,600 miles (only 152 paved), she arrived in San Francisco. This is the story of Alice Huyler Ramsey, AAA’s “Woman Motorist of the Century.”
