Come Fly the World: The Jet-Age Story of the Women of Pan Am by Julia Cooke
informative
reflective
slow-paced
3.0
✅ feminist critique about Pan Am and fight attendants in general
✅ historically relevant covering issues related to gender in the 60s and 70s
✅ information about the power of the feminist movement and changes to women's rights
✅ information about women's roles in the war in Vietnam and aftermath
Interesting in general.... not really.
I'm not sure what was a miss for me with this one. There was a good mix of broad historical information, and individual stories of women who challenged expectations in a variety of ways. This just didn't hold my attention. Listening to the audio, I found my mind wandering.
