In 1888, Bertha Benz - a mother of five and a visionary pioneer - made history as the first person to complete a long-distance journey by automobile. Her bold adventure not only demonstrated the potential of her husband Carl Benz’s invention but also sparked the global revolution of the automobile. German historian Anette Isaacs brings to life the inspiring story of Bertha Benz, a woman of courage and determination whose journey forever changed the course of transportation history. This class is taught by Anette Isaacs, a collaborative instructor from the College of DuPage.
