Postcards from the Sky: Adventures of an Aviatrix

Postcards from the Sky: Adventures of an Aviatrix

The aviation world is a manâ€™s worldâ€”it always has been, and it continues to be so today. In fact, women make up a mere 5 to 6 percent of the total pilot population worldwide. But from the first time Erin Seidemann experienced what it was like to see the world from a small planeâ€™s perspective, she was hookedâ€”and sheâ€™s spent much of her time since then fighting her way into becoming one of that 5 to 6 percent.

Postcards from the Sky: Adventures of an Aviatrix tells of the struggles and adventures one encounters as a woman in the male-dominated space of aviation. With humor and equanimity, Seidemann recounts her varied experiences as a female pilotâ€”from the chauvinistic flight instructor she makes the mistake of falling in love with to the many, many customs agents who insist she canâ€™t possibly be her planeâ€™s owner (â€œWhereâ€™s your boyfriend?â€)â€”while at the same time giving insight about just what makes flying so incredible . . . and so very addictive. Frank, funny, and full of adventure, Postcards from the Sky is an entertaining foray into a world few women have dared enter.
