39. The First Female Pilot
Today, we see that women can do anything they dream of, but it was harder to do what your heart wanted to do back in the day. But one of the women who broke that from the aviation industry was Raymonde de Laroche, who became the first woman to pilot a plane and the first one in the world to have a license. Her friend, airplane builder Charles Voisin, was the one who taught her how to fly by herself since the plane only had a seat for one person. Flight magazine called her a “baroness” since she was not of noble birth.
