The Lady Driller: The Autobiography of N. Elizabeth Mills is a memoir written by Nettie Elizabeth West Mills. In this book, Mills shares her life story as a pioneering woman in the oil drilling industry. Mills was one of the first women to work as a driller in the oil fields of Texas, and her autobiography provides a unique perspective on the challenges and triumphs of breaking gender barriers in a male-dominated industry.The book begins with Mills' childhood in rural Texas and follows her journey as she discovers her passion for drilling and begins working in the oil fields. Mills describes the physical and emotional challenges of working in a dangerous and demanding job, as well as the discrimination and harassment she faced as a woman in a male-dominated industry.Despite these obstacles, Mills persevered and became a respected and successful driller, eventually starting her own drilling company. Throughout the book, she shares anecdotes and insights from her decades-long career, offering a fascinating glimpse into the history of the oil industry and the role of women in shaping it.In addition to her professional accomplishments, Mills also shares personal stories about her family, friendships, and faith. The Lady Driller is a compelling and inspiring memoir that celebrates the achievements of a remarkable woman and offers a powerful message of perseverance and determination.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
