Peer into the lives of female motor sports pioneers this Mother's Day
Looking for the ideal gift for your revhead mum? These two bios of remarkable women and their association with fast cars and speedboats will fit the bill.

The best presents this Mother’s Day are those that will absorb the mum in your life for many hours – and can be obtained remotely and enjoyed at a socially responsible distance. My nominations are two motor sport-related books, neither new, but both thoroughly absorbing – and available in e-book format if the hard copy isn’t obtainable.
Both have “Queen” in the title and concern remarkable women born in the year 1900, but are otherwise unrelated.
