Dear Queenie,
My parents wouldn’t let me get a driver’s license until I had learned to drive a stick-shift car and how to change a tire and check the oil and keep up all the other fluids.
Queenie, I think every woman should be able to do these things. Do you agree?—Independent woman driver
Dear Woman driver,
I agree! And any woman who cannot do these things for herself should belong to some group (like AAA in the USA) that she can call when she needs them.
