For someone who has flown a lot, this was a really neat story to read about the early days and history of Flight Attendants and the amazing experiences they have while taking care of us passengers.  For anyone who has not flown, it should ease your mind that you will be in good hands when you do!  I highly recommend it, and if you are traveling by plane I would definitely bring a copy to enjoy during the trip.

A great book for all who might believe that women pilots and mechanics are something new. And also that  "me too" is something recent.  Nice job Aimie.

I was surprised to learn of these women pilots. I had no idea that the Russian military would have allowed these regiments to participate in the war. Amazing women!

This is an eye-opening, gripping 130-page book about a group of women who had already broken gender barriers in flight, and who showed they were capable of going into space -- but were denied that dream. In the course of her research, author Tanya Lee Stone developed personal relationships with the women she was writing about. In fact, she became so involved with this project that she took flying lessons herself. Stone's passion for her subject really comes through in this book.

This is a fantastic book to get girls (and boys) interested in science and flight. I've included it in my online Gender Equality Bookstore.

I learned so much from this book! Some of the greatest athletes of all-time have been basically forgotten because they're women. This book is never bland, always interesting. If you care about sports and/or feminism check it out.

I love learning about women's lives- their dreams, struggles and triumphs. This book tells all the details of real people. Photos too. It's a favorite!

Girls of Avenger is the story behind the story of the young women who participated in WWII in PLANES!  Most people have never even heard of the W.A.S.P. (Women's Airforce Service Pilots) much less acknowledge their contribution to the war effort.  This coming-of-age story about a group of girls who grow up to become pilots is poignant and refreshing.  In an era when women weren't expected to get a higher education or to join the workforce, these ladies took on the new field of airplane piloting.  They are all fiesty and interesting...there's even a forbidden love story, but because young ladies in this era had high moral expectations and didn't curse, this is a great book for young people to read.  Get this book, you'll learn something about American History, and enjoy it along the way.

This book is a great one to pick up and put down in between doing things or reading another book. It would be great as a coffee table book addition or it is best for young women looking for role models. This book is a combination of tales about 52 miraculous women in history from all over the world. They have done awesome things for the furthering of women's rights and just for the heck of it.

Each woman gets a two-page spread with an illustration of her on one side and a page about her life and accomplishment. The spreads are concise and easy to read and adult and younger readers will all really enjoy them. I learned some amazing things from this compilation and I loved reading through all of them. I can't wait to pass this one to a friend.

I knew about Earhart and Lindbergh but not about these plucky gals who defied convention, their families and the very concept of the weaker sex to fearlessly pursue their dreams to be the first woman to cross the Atlantic in a plane. This book is meticulously researched and full of such vivid facts, the characters practically vibrate to life. Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres/ learn while being entertained. Notaro knocked it outta the park with this one.

I've always enjoyed reading about aviation, but I learned a lot about the early days of commercial flight and just how dangerous it was!  Gann lived an amazing part of history.

I love a good anthology, particularly of the contributions of women in history. The point is not that men haven't done great things that we deserve learning about but that they aren't the only ones who have. Despite hardship and opposition, women have invented lots of things, some that we couldn't live without today and others that are so common, I didn't even realize that it used to be a problem.

This book takes just about an hour to listen to. It has some women I was already familiar with (like my hero, Admiral Grace Hopper) and others that were new (Margaret Knight invented the machine that makes paper grocery bags, they had to be made by hand and were expensive before that).

This was historical story about early airplane flyers. The opening scene has a woman falling from nowhere in the sky. What a hook! The story gets even better from there. We have police corruption, all kinds of flying, rivalries, and a little romance.
The author did a lot of research because I learned a lot about planes from this story. I also got to know life in the midwest at the turn of the last century.

The author covers the recent history of the women's leagues in great detail, very good research and first-person accounts from players who went through it. Many people don't know the full stories of what happened to the last couple of women's leagues and Tim delves into that with great detail and enthusiasm. The story of women's soccer over the last decade is a fascinating one and the author fills in all the blanks from what you might have heard throughout the years. Great read!

These women are very brave & outspoken. I'm so glad to  know this world was built not just by men alone but very strong & smart women. Wanda grew up in this book much like her mother, which was not boring. We saw the horror of what monarchy could do in other countries with very little consideration for anyone' rights. I have found I love period pieces because I love history. What a way to study history.

I read this book cover to cover in one sitting. An excellent treatise on women in an emerging sport. The many stories are interesting, unique, and informative.
