Loretta Smith in conversation with Claire Halliday
The result is Loretta’s debut book, A Spanner in the Works: The extraordinary story of Alice Anderson and Australia’s first all-girl garage.

unique slice of Melbourne history and helps reveal Alice’s extraordinary life, and the tragedy of her untimely death.
