The author also considers the variety of roles that American women played in the development of aviation. In addition, she discusses the great social questions regarding "racial integration, the Equal Rights Amendment, the anti-war movement of the sixties, and other issues on our recent history." The book starts with how women were involved during World War II and continues through the postwar era. Many pictures are included. 142/Softbound/Photographs
