Draft:Alice Elizabeth Anderson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alice Elizabeth Anderson, born Alice Elizabeth Foley Anderson (1897-1926), was an Australian businesswoman, garage proprietor, designer, industrial/product designer, and mechanic. Anderson was the owner of the first all-women garage workshop.

Childhood
Third of five children of the Irish-born couple Joshua Thomas Noble Anderson, an engineer, and Ellen Mary, single name White-Spunner, Alice Elizabeth Anderson was born in June 8th 1897. She spent most of her childhood in a bush house in Narbethong, a poor small city in the rural suburbs of Melbourne-- even though her father thrived for some years while partnering with Sir John Monash for the commerce of reinforced concrete, his success was soon shaded by bad investments and rampant spendings, and the financial situation forced the family to move.

During her years at Narbethong, Anderson learned to fish, hunt, and horse ride. Also, it was during that time that she acquire the clothing style that would later became her trade mark: bloomers and men's boots.

Controversy
While some historians say Anderson learned to drive in the local co-operative bus service, others say she engaged with her father's motoring business as a secretary and the staff taught her to drive. Either way, her interests for motors and technology began in her late childhood.

Adult years
At the age of 18, Anderson started a part-time job as a clerical worker. Alongside, in her free hours, she would take couples for picnics at the Dandenong Ranges.

Education
Anderson started her studies at the age of 12 in the Church of England Girls' Grammar School at Melbourne. After five terms, she had to abandon schooling and the possibility of entering a College, due to the family's financial struggles.
