Barbara Ganson delves into the lives of the women whose work as test pilots, flight school owner-operators, airport managers, and in other roles impacted and reflected larger trends in society. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWomen aviators challenged social norms that considered them inept with machinery and incapable of handling early flight's very real dangers. Ganson follows how the New Woman ethos of freedom of movement and career inspired engagement with aviation.

The fashions of airwomen, meanwhile, reflected changing attitudes of women toward traditional roles and the pursuit of their career aspirations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInformed by interviews and rare archival information, \u003ci\u003eLady Daredevils\u003c\/i\u003e tells the stories of the pioneering women of early aviation history and reveals their dynamic interactions with social and technological change.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBarbara Ganson \u003c\/b\u003eis a professor of history at Florida Atlantic University.
