I was covering for a science teacher today at school and the teacher did not leave plans for the class. I looked on Netflix for something to show and came across this documentary called "Mercury 13." It is terrific! It's about the 13 women pilots who tried to be astronauts but were denied the opportunity by the government. I learned a ton watching it and it contains lots of great GA related stories. In addition these 13 women are an inspiration to all us pilots and they are terrific advocates for the privilege of flying. You can just tell how much these women love flying and appreciate how fortunate they were/are to be a pilot. They shared many stories of why they became pilots and all the amazing work they did flying around the country during a time when men held all the positions of power.
I almost never reccomend things for others to watch but this was so good I figured others would really like it too. I plan on watching it with my nieces when they get older and any future daughter I may have. I'd certainly give it a watch!
