A Proud Identity for Women Drivers
For decades, Russia's women drivers have been laughed off the roads by their male counterparts. A new magazine "Woman at the Wheel" has recently been published with the aim of giving women drivers a proud identity. The title of the publication has been deliberately chosen to challenge the stereotype.
More and more Russian women have started driving in the last few years. The number of women drivers is estimated to have increased by up to 50%. Post- communist Russia has produced a new class of female professionals, who have got the income and the access to consumer goods that their parents' generation could never have dreamt of.

The answer to the first question is correct. The name "Woman at the Wheel" was deliberately chosen to challenge the stereotype and give women drivers a proud identity.
However, the answer to the second question is not accurate. The phrase "male counterparts" in the third paragraph refers to the male drivers in Russia, not the female drivers' husbands. The sentence mentions that Russia's women drivers have been laughed off the roads by their male counterparts, indicating that it is referring to the behavior of other male drivers on the road.
The correct answer to the second question is: b. The male drivers in Russia.
