Keith O’Brien
March 15, 2019 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
FreeBetween the world wars, no sport was more popular than airplane racing. While male pilots were lauded as heroes, the few women who dared to fly were more often ridiculed – until a cadre of women pilots banded together to break through the entrenched prejudice. Keith O’Brien’s Fly Girls (Houghton Mifflin) weaves together the stories of five remarkable women who fought for the chance to fly and race airplanes. This event is sponsored by the Rose City Chapter of Women in Aviation International.
