Résumé
Rich outlines the life of the world's first black woman aviator, Bessie Coleman, by drawing on reports in black newspapers and memoirs of contemporaries. Born in 1892, Coleman battled racism and sexism in her drive to "amount to something." She… chose flying as her road to glory, earned her license in France after U.S. instructors refused to teach her, and found fame in air shows. She died in a crash in 1926. 1993.
