Katherine Stinson: The Flying Schoolgirl
by Debra L. Winegarten
This book is a refreshing, swift-moving biography of Katherine Stinson who, as a high-spirited young girl, was determined to fly. Stinson was licensed as a pilot in 1912 when aviation was in its infancy, planes were quite primitive, and women were grounded as homemakers. Perhaps most important is the message implicit in the courageous way Stinson meets each challenge in her career and aims for more. An adventure for aviators of all ages.

As the mother of a soldier stationed in Iraq, writing has helped me deal with my feelings. Some weeks after my son, left for Iraq on April 4, 2003, I started on the book, Women Write the War, stories about the war from a woman's perspective.

In addition to being a soldier's mom and author, I'm happily married and mother of 3 boys, 19, 16 and 6. We live in Austin, Texas. To see my other book, "The Forty-Fitters," here.
