NCSS | Jul 23, 2021 |  Not only are the biographies short enough for your child to read on their own and not be overwhelmed, but they include citations so your child can dig deeper if needed. For an excerpt from the book, visit my blog, Viva la Feminista. roniweb | May 30, 2019 | Most of the aviation books I've read cover exactly one aviatrix, to use an out of date term. I'm speaking of Amelia Earhart, of course. The one exception is Amelia Lost by Candace Fleming which mentions her female competitors as a way to put her flying career into perspective. Gibson's book does a better and more even handed job by presenting Earhart in the midst of twenty-five other short biographies that include their planes and majors flights.

HTML: Detailing the role of women in aviation, from the very first days of flight to the present, this rich exploration of the subject profiles 26 women pilots who sought out and met challenges both in the sky and on the ground. Divided into six chronologically arranged sections, this book composes a minihistory of aviation. Learn about pioneers such as Katherine Wright, called by many the "Third Wright Brother," and Baroness Raymonde de Laroche of France, the first woman awarded a license to fly. Read about barnstormers like Bessie Coleman and racers like Louise Thaden, who bested Amelia Earhart to win the 1929 Women's Air Derby. Additional short biography sidebars for other key figures and lists of supplemental resources for delving deeper into the history of the subject are also included. .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
