This exciting picture book tells the stories of women who were part of the early history of aviation, as well as those who continue to break through the clouds in combat, commercial, and space flight. Full color. |
| Synopsis: |
A chance conversation between young Charlene and her two brothers about what she wants to do when she is an adult blossoms into an educational dialogue in which Charlene teaches her brothers a thing or two about women and their participation in the field of aeronautics. Beginning with her revelation that Leila Marie Cody flew in a kite years before the Wright brothers created their airplane, Charlene continues with a whos who of influential female figures. Recounting history from Anne Morrow Lindbergh, who was the first American woman to earn her glider pilots license, to Dr. Mae Jemison, the first African-American woman astronaut, Charlene confirms that girls can be anything they want to beand, in fact, they can fly! |
