Without a doubt, Evelyn Zegenhagen has presented the best-researched book published on the history of female flight and on the role of female pilots in aviation history between 1918 and 1945. This amazing achievement of research has closed many gaps in current research on the subject. The author has also processed, for the very first time, the biographies of female gliders and the chances and problems they encountered. She thus delivers insight into and opens up new perspectives on the subject of aviation history, not only in relation to female participation. Her comprehensive study of the sources also reconstructs the lives of unknown female pilots and adds new dimensions to those biographies that have already been well documented. Zegenhagen has definitely fulfilled her wish to view the flight of women in a contemporary context and to account for the structural conditions in conjunction with the individual possibilities for women.Downloads
