The automobile arrived at a time when American women were fighting for the right to vote and seeking expanded opportunities beyond traditional domestic roles. The car quickly became a symbol -- and instrument -- of this new freedom. Advertisers made frequent use of automobile imagery, and carmakers increasingly targeted their ads toward women.
