Publicity photography of automobilist Alice Huyler Ramsey with Margate Atwood, Nettie Powell and Hermine Jahns prior to their historic drive across America in summer 1909.
Hermine Dudley (née Jahns; born 1890) was an American woman who, in 1909 at age 19, accompanied Alice Huyler Ramsey when she became the first woman to drive across the United States.[1][2][3] She later married Pendleton Dudley and was the mother of the choreographer Jane Dudley.[4]
The 1995 juvenile historical fiction book Coast to Coast with Alice is told in her voice.[5]
