CBC Showcase: Celebrating National Women's History Month

Wings and Rockets
The Story of Women in Air and Space

by Jeannine Atkins
Illustrated by Dusan Petricic

In celebration of National Women's History Month, Wings and Rockets assembles stories of nine women who were essential to the discovery and development of powered aviation. Often relegated to footnotes in history—if acknowledged at all—these pioneers left an indelible legacy in the field of aviation and aeronautics. This compilation of the eventful stories behind some of the innovative women who persevered and changed the course of aviation history also features witty and lively illustrations, a bibliography, timeline, author's note, and index.
