4.   Girls Auto Clinic Glove Box Guide (Touchstone Original/September 19, 2017/$19.99)

It has all the answers. It’s a one-stop do-it-herself guide to auto maintenance, repairs, and roadside emergencies. Author Patrice Banks, a self-described “auto-airhead,” was like many of us: she didn’t know the first thing about her car. So Patrice took her engineering degree and became a certified automotive technician, giving auto-workshops to women and girls all across the Philadelphia area.

In Girls Auto Clinic Glove Box Guide she reassures readers that it doesn’t matter where you’re starting from, because it only takes a basic level of knowledge from someone who talks like you and thinks like you, for anyone to become a confident, responsible car owner.

Through her sheCANic workshops and newly opened all-female-operated garage—which includes a hair and nail salon!—Patrice is continuously working to change the auto industry by encouraging women to change the relationship they have with their cars, take away the confusion and mystery surrounding cars by teaching them what they need to know about how their cars work, and what they need to do to keep them running smoothly.
