As a woman in aviation myself (both on the pilot and maintenance side) I was immediately intrigued by this title, and I'm glad I picked it up. This is an excellent account of women's accomplishments and contributions to the industry, from the beginning. While I was already familiar with some names (the Stinson sisters, Bessie Coleman, and of course Amelia Earhart) there are others that were new to me. Overall a great read, and I'll be picking up a finished copy to add to my aviation library.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an early review copy!
