It took 100 years from the time the first woman flew in a plane until the first woman entered the International Space Station. Learn about the female pioneer balloonists, parachutists, glider, blimp and helicopter pilots who struggled to become aviators along the way.

Discover how Canadian women broke through the sky blue ceiling as Dr. Elizabeth Muir discusses her book, Canadian Women in the Sky: 100 years of Flight.
