Contributing editor to Harper's, , Lear's, , and Self, Hazleton has also established a reputation as one of the few female authors to write seriously about cars. Hazleton's first book about cars is Confessions of a Fast Woman, published in In this title Hazleton chronicles some of the experiences that she sought out as a columnist when she wanted to understand cars and car culture more concretely.

In possibly the most dramatic example, Hazleton studied to become a race car driver, and successfully drove at speeds of up to miles per hour. Hazleton writes not only about the necessary steps she needed to take to learn to drive race cars, but also about the feeling of driving one—the freedom of flying along at those speeds, and the contrast with the values she learned as a child, when women were not expected to undertake such dangerous, physically challenging activities.

The tale "is a pleasure to read," concluded a Publishers Weekly reviewer.
