Come Fly the World: The Jet-Age Story of the Women of Pan Am by Julia Cooke
informative
medium-paced
3.5
A breezy and informative history, this would be a great pairing with Paulina Bren's The Barbizon: The Hotel That Set Women Free. I enjoyed the history and the individual women's stories, and since I knew very little about Pan Am to begin with I learned quite a bit. It did make me pine a bit for larger planes and more roomy seating arrangements, but oh well.
Graphic: Sexism
Moderate: Fatphobia, Racism, and War
Minor: Child death
