"The Motor Girls on a Tour" by Margaret Penrose is a tale set probably in the early 1900s, revolving around the adventures of the self-reliant Cora Kimball and her group of "motor girls" as they set off on a road trip, encountering various challenges and memorable experiences. The narrative shines a light on themes of freedom and sisterhood, portraying the girls traveling on their own terms and without boys. We are introduced to Cora, a skilled driver, as she maneuvers her car, the Whirlwind, joined by her friends Hazel Hastings and the Robinson twins. Their travels begin with a comical mishap where they cross paths with another group of young people, leading to some chaos as they deal with a ruined lunch and the unwanted arrival of boys from the other party. They express their excitement about the tour, showing their goal to have fun and their friendly rivalry with the group of boys.
