Margaret Jennings (racing driver) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Margaret Allan (racing driver)
Margaret Mabel Gladys Jennings (''née'' Allan; 26 July 1909 – 21 September 1998) was a Scottish motor racing driver. As Margaret Allan (her surname sometimes erroneously rendered "Allen") she was one of the leading British female racing and rally drivers in the inter-war years, and one of only four women ever to earn a 120 mph badge at the Brooklands circuit. Following her racing career, Jennings became a journalist and was ''Vogue'' magazine's motoring correspondent for many years in the 1940s and 1950s. ==Early life== Margaret Allan was born in Patterton, Renfrewshire, in July 1909. She was the daughter of James Allan, a member of the wealthy Scottish-Canadian Allan family who owned the Allan Line steamship company.〔 The Allan family were progressive and politically active. James' sister was well known suffragette Janie Allan, and Margaret was educated at the liberal and unorthodox Bedales School. A keen horsewoman from an early age, Allan's mother nurtured her independent streak and encouraged her to learn to drive as soon as she was old enough.〔
