Bitchstory Lesson 29 - Fabulous Flying Badass Bitches

Everyone has heard of Amelia Earhart.  She actually made it into the history books. Sometimes I wonder if she would have been in the books if she'd made it back from that ill-fated flight. Dead women are no threat to the patriarchy.  That is so jaded, sorry!   Anyway,  this episode is packed with a bunch of badass ladies who have been defying gravity since the very beginning of human flight.  We have women in the air from all walks of life and generations, and some of them were quite young! As usual, our own podcast gave Kelly feelings of inferiority. Lisa is a Capricorn, she has no idea what that is like. heehee.  This episode is pretty inspirational.    If you need an excuse for a potluck at work or something, here's the days we are nodding at with this ep:  8/18 Nat’l Aviation Day 8/16 Nat’l Aireborne Day 8/20 Nat’l Accessible Air Travel Day https://nationaldaycalendar.com/national-accessible-air-travel-day-august-20/ https://www.aviationtriad.com/women-who-shaped-aviation/#:~:text=One%20of%20the%20most%20overlooked,flight%20by%20humans%20in%201903. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/how-ida-holdgreves-stitches-helped-wright-brothers-get-off-ground-180977195/ https://www.rd.com/list/famous-women-in-flight/ If you'd like to sponsor an episode, or be a monthly donor, we would be thrilled!
