The Flying Feminist: The First Woman to Build and Fly Her Own Plane

At a time when women were expected to conform, Lilian Bland didn’t  fit in – she wore trousers, enjoyed fishing and worked as a sports  journalist. Inspired by the flight of the wild birds she loved to  photograph, in 1910 she defied convention and became the first woman to  design, build and fly her own airplane, earning her an accolade: The  Flying Feminist! Perfect for budding feminists and adventurers, this  narrative non-fiction picture book will inspire children to pursue their  passions and achieve great things. Soar on!
