Women in Flight

Seattle’s Museum of Flight is opening a new exhibit July 10 that looks at the role of women in the aerospace industry.

It starts with pioneer French aeronaut Élisabeth Thible, who became the first woman to fly in a balloon in 1784, and it continues through to today’s pilots and astronauts.

The Chasing Horizons exhibit will include the lesser-known aviation pioneers, as well as the contemporary ground breakers in air and space travel.
