One of the first women to fly, the fashionable Harriet Quimby (1875–1912) came of age in the fading years of a gilded era, determined to have more than the life of a farmer's wife. Beautiful, intelligent, and forever seeking the next adventure when her life ended tragically at age thirty-seven, this extraordinary pioneer had accomplished what most—women or men—only dream about. Here is the remarkable story of Quimby's groundbreaking work in aviation, photojournalism, fashion design, script writing, and advertising. As a celebrity journalist in New York, she was also a mouthpiece for women, minorities, and social justice issues. "I  think I shall do something someday," she once remarked. This recognition of her legacy is long overdue.

Leslie Kerr has been a writer and editor for over twenty-five years and has led numerous writing workshops across the country and abroad. She is the owner of LKB Associates, an editorial consulting firm in Westport, Connecticut.
