Storytime with Mary Boone: ‘The Flying Feminist’

Third Place Books welcomes Mary Boone for storytime at our Lake Forest Park store! Mary will ready from her new illustrated book, The Flying Feminist: The First Woman to Build and Fly Her Own Plane.

At a time when women were expected to conform, Lilian Bland didn’t fit in—she wore trousers, enjoyed fishing and worked as a sports journalist. Inspired by the flight of the wild birds she loved to photograph, in 1910 she defied convention and became the first woman to design, build and fly her own airplane, earning her an accolade: The Flying Feminist!

This event is free and open to the public. All ages welcome! No RSVP required.
