This Guardian article discusses the increasing involvement of women in the automotive repair industry in Australia. It highlights initiatives like Women on Wheels, which offers free car maintenance workshops to empower women with basic vehicle repair skills. Despite these efforts, female mechanics remain underrepresented, with only about 900 in the entire country. The article also features stories of women like Alicia Holland and Caitie Cornford, who are breaking stereotypes and contributing to a cultural shift in traditionally male-dominated workplaces.
