B: They didn't like that. They said I ought to join the movement, and told me a lot of examples but I said, no I don't want to vote.
I:  And yet you've done so many exciting things. You've done so many things that in your day, were probably the exclusive preserve of the man.
B: Well, yes. But voting didn't make any difference because that's a political thing. Voting... I never... I don't careabout women entering into politics particularly: Ah, no harm's been done with the few that have entered theHouse of Commons but, in fact, some have done a great deal of good. But that's quite different to beating menat their own job. Now that's nothing to do with votes. Now, for instance, I always got a great thrill on the racetrack at Brooklands. If I could beat, well, Sir Henry Seagrave, for instance, in a race, I never did beat him but Idid beat Frazer Nash, a famous racing driver in a race, and I was thrilled to death. I thought that was super.
I:  So you don't mind actually joining men in their world of work and sport but you're happy to leave politics to them.
