USA Today, "Driven to make cars safe for kids"

After 17 years in sales and marketing for Kodak and personal care product-maker Helene Curtis, Janette Fennell knows how to sell. But she says she was a babe in the woods when she started trying to sell her brand of safety to Detroit automakers in the late '90s.

Fennell, 49, wasn't driven to safety advocacy by the deep-seated distrust of big business that so many activists share. Instead, after she and her husband were carjacked, robbed and locked in the trunk of their car in 1995, Fennell embarked on a successful campaign to get trunk releases in cars.
