To all the women who have worked to create small or big changes—directly or indirectly—in the automotive world: this is a thank you and a tribute to your sacrifices and your expertise.
Women are taking up an increasingly important place in the automotive industry. For many years now, they have been an integral part of this constantly evolving field. This shift can be attributed to several factors. Whether they have a passion for all kinds of motorized vehicles, play a key role in purchase decisions (within families or personally), or build careers related to the automotive sector, women have a strong and undeniable presence in this space.
It’s only natural to highlight some of the remarkable women who have helped shape automotive history. Their contributions have driven diversification and innovation in both motorsports and driving.
This list could be much longer. These women are symbols of innovation and perseverance.
However, challenges remain. According to Deloitte Canada, 91% of women perceive bias in promotions, compared to 47% of men.
Only 39% believe there has been significant progress over the past five years.
Despite this, change is underway. These women are helping reshape standards and inspire future generations.
