It starts by narrating the life and exploits female pilot pioneer Bessie Coleman, who had to train and apply for her license in France because segregation laws prohibited her from attaining certification […]
Believe it or not, this is the first book I have read about a woman in engineering so my expectations were perhaps a bit too high.
