Women Pilots of Alaska

37 Interviews and Profiles

By: Sandi Sumner

Since the time of its inception, the field of aviation has rapidly grown in both importance and popularity. The acceptance and recognition of women's participation and achievements in this activity, however, did not develop with nearly the same speed. The first biographical history of women pilots in Alaska, this work explores the challenges faced by women of Alaska as they pursued roles in aviation--something that had long been considered part of "the men's world". Beginning in 1927 with Marvel Crosson and reaching to the present day, 37 adventurous and personal tales are offered, including that of an ultralight flyer, the first woman to become U.S. Aerobatic Champion, a parachute jumper, the first woman to fly in a small airplane over the North Pole and an Iditarod dog musher. Questions about why these women chose to fly; where they learned; when they soloed; what it meant to them to become a pilot; what challenges they faced in such a non-traditional role; and why they chose the skies of Alaska are addressed as these intriguing stories are told.

Patriotic Pacifism

Waging War on War in Europe, 1815-1914

By: Sandi E. Cooper

Despite the liberalized reconfiguration of civil society and political practice in nineteenth-century Europe, the right to make foreign policy, devise alliances, wage war and negotiate peace remained essentially an executive prerogative. Citizen challenges to the exercise of this power grew slowly. Drawn from the educated middle classes, peace activists maintained that Europe was a single culture despite national animosities; that Europe needed rational inter-state relationships to avoid catastrophe; and that internationalism was the logical outgrowth of the nation-state, not its subversion. In this book, Cooper explores the arguments of these "patriotic pacifists" with emphasis on the remarkable international peace movement that grew between 1889 and 1914. While the first World War revealed the limitations and dilemmas of patriotic pacifism, the shape, if not substance, of many twentieth-century international institutions was prefigured in nineteenth-century continental pacifism.

Alaska Women's Journey

By: Sandi Sumner

Four-time Olympian Nina Kemppel said, "You have to believe in yourself, whether it's at the Olympics before a crowd of 100,000 people, or alone on Mt. McKinley." Reaching the summit of Alaska's highest peak made a lasting impression on each woman in this book, beginning in 1947 with Barbara Washburn. Some of the others include an airline pilot; a twelve-year-old girl; a pulmonary physician; a four-time winner of the Alaska Iditarod; two women who climbed solo; and an opera singer who helped guide others safely up and down the mountain. --Back cover.
