The Flying Feminist - Mary Boone

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 aeroplane, 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!
