Born to Fly is a book about women and their barriers in achieving their goals. At this time, women were regarded as housewives, nothing close to aviation. Yet these women strode to change these stereotypes and surpass the standards set for them.
“Young women of good families do not fly planes.” This was told to Bobbi Trout, one very daring woman. Bobbi paid no attention to this, however, instead setting out to disprove this. Stereotypes set for young women at this time were simple: go to school, learn to be a lady, marry a wealthy man, and live the rest of your life as a mother or housewife. Bobbi went on to break various records in aviation, or rather, women’s aviation.
Similarly, Amelia Earhart once faced disapproving looks from her father. Edwin Earhart believed his daughter should be a perfect lady, but as a child, Amelia was a rebellious child, making homemade roller coasters and sledding down hills on her stomach, exactly the opposite of what her father believed. Seeing a plane at a city fair, Amelia fell in love with aviation. She set out to find Neta Snook, one of the few women with a pilot’s license at this time. Snook taught Amelia how to fly, teaching her everything she knew. Years later, Amelia became the first woman to cross the Atlantic, and further on, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.
At the same time in Indiana, Marvel Crosson and her brother Joe knew it early on that they wanted to be pilots. Their parents, however, believed that they shouldn’t do something so dangerous. They believed women shouldn’t do dangerous things like going into aviation. Unlike other parents though, Marvel eventually convinced her parents to move to California, which finally allowed them to pursue their dreams, with a Curtiss N-9 they had bought years before. Joe got his license first, because he was male and a woman like Marvel would face challenges. All of Joe’s friends thought of the first stereotype: women shouldn’t fly planes. Yet after Marvel started flying, she achieved heights, gaining the respect of many others.
Like Marvel, Amelia, and Bobbi, all of the women aviators faced stereotypical remarks, challenges, and discouragement. Through all of this, though, many of these brave aviators changed the world and how the world saw women.
