Great Book

Mary is a diligent scholar and a great story teller. Women With Wings is a very enjoyable read. Aside shedding light on the history of female aviators, it portrays an important movement in the history of humankind, namely, certain women's insistence that they are not inferior to men despite the heavy tradition attesting otherwise.
