Gals Guide

Leah finished up Working Women Month with a delicious treat! Learn about Ruth Wakefield, the inventor of the chocolate chip cookie. See if you think she got a tasty deal for her business creation. 

Working Women Month continues! Barb tells us about the founder of Girls Who Code and the best-selling author of multiple books, Reshma Saujani.

Working Women Month continues! Katie is up next telling us about the fantastic American aerospace engineer, who also happens to be the mom of actor, Jack Black. 

Bonnie starts off Working Women month with a cautionary tale of the horrors of the workplace. On Saturday, March 25, 1911, a fire broke out in Manhattan. The tall building with unsafe conditions created a deadly industrial disaster. Taking the lives of 146 people, most of them women, inspired protests to create safer work conditions for all. 

The Aviation drink with gin has REALLY KICK IN! Katie wraps up aviation month with the power of the Great Stewardess Rebellion. Inspired by the amazing book of the same name by Nell McShane Wulfhart. We also talked about the window, aisle, or middle seat before we got really upset with the sexism in the airline industry.

Leah's super excited to tell you about one of her favorite Mercury 13 gals who also is the oldest woman to go to space! It's the delightful, Wally Funk! 

Barb continues Aviation gals month with a high flyer who was born just 6 years after the Wright brother's first flight. Learn about Mama Bird the female pilot with the highest number of flying hours in the world. She was a colonel in the Civil Air Patrol and a founding member of the Morristown, Tennessee Civil Air Patrol Squadron

Bonnie's pick to start off Aviation Gal's Month hits on her favorite things - her gal has a lot of names, she's the first in a few things, and there is a puppy element. That being said, it's a wild ride learning about Madame Sophie Blanchard, the French woman who was the first female professional balloonist...but she also was the first to....let's say, not land.
