A fascinating look at some of the woman who were the first to pilot planes. Before I read this book I had no idea that aviation races played a big role in the history of aviation, nor who the women were (besides Amelia Earnhardt) who defied tradition and took to the skies.

Not to mention leaving families behind to pursue their dreams.

Absolutely fascinating story about women pioneers in aviation. While they founded the 99ers, most of them had numerous crashes and many lost their lives. Of course the most famous one was Amelia Earhart. Many men didn't think women should fly but they pursued. This book is well worth the read.
