Bertha Takes a Drive: How the Benz Automobile Changed the World In 1888, Bertha Benz embarked on an extraordinary journey with her two sons. Her husband's invention, the Benz motorwagen, had sparked controversy and concern. Despite the government's ban and the church's disapproval, Bertha decided to take matters into her own hands. With her mechanical skills and determination, she drove nearly one hundred miles to prove the vehicle's worth. This remarkable story showcases Bertha's resourcefulness and bravery as a mother and inventor. Her actions not only helped alleviate global concerns about moving vehicles but also paved the way for the development of modern transportation. This book tells the fascinating tale of Bertha Benz's historic drive, highlighting her significance in the history of innovation. Hardcover edition, 32 pages, illustrated.
