Fly With Me

Fly With Me tells the story of the pioneering women who became flight attendants at a time when single women were unable to order a drink, eat alone in a restaurant, own a credit card or get a prescription for birth control. The job offered unheard-of opportunities for travel and independence. These women were on the frontlines of the battle to assert gender equality and transform the workplace.

Though these experiences range far and wide, the PNW is full of people and groups who have faced these issues of access and recognition and are actively working to change that.
