Elizabeth Muir - Women in the Sky: 100 Years of Flight
Meet author, Elizabeth Muir, as she talks about her latest book.
This is the story of how women in Canada, from Newfoundland to British Columbia, struggled to win a place in the world of air travel, first as passengers, then as flight attendants and pilots, and, finally, as astronauts. Amazing and amusing anecdotes trace these women's challenges and successes, their slow march over 100 years from scandal to acceptance, whether in Second World War skies, in hostile northern bush country, and even beyond Earth's atmosphere.
