"Women Who Fly is a tribute to all women and, in particular, to the ones who fly, who had great influence in the emancipation of women in a society full of prejudices against those who want to be more than daughters, wives and mothers. In each chapter, the reader is introduced to the first aviators in twelve different countries to receive the pilot's license, some of which had an important participation in the Second World War. In a world dominated by men and by the ideal of masculine courage, those women needed a lot of strength and determination to overcome obstacles that were imposed in their way, whether by family members, superiors, or society itself."
