Berry, Esther - Skyward! Women Aviation Pioneers, Feb. 8, 2017

Paper description

The author told the story of the women who had an impact on aviation. We were curious to hear more from her opening lines: “One aviator was a super-star, another a shy poet; one was a professional horse-trainer with a scandalous reputation; another a military leader; and one was a homemaker and recreational pilot.” We learned interesting insights about Amelia Earhart, and also about less well known women aviators, including Anne Morrow Lindbergh and Beryl Markham. These were daring women, that’s for sure.
