ISBN:  9780763677329 (hbk.) 0763677329 (hbk.) Alternate title:  Sophie Blanchard, the first woman pilot Description:  1 v. (unpaged) : col. ill. ; 31 cm. Notes:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  Shares the life of the first female to work as a professional balloonist, a woman who made more than sixty ascents until her death in an aviation accident in 1819. Behold the story of Sophie Blanchard, an extraordinary woman who is largely forgotten despite her claim to being the very first female pilot in history. In eighteenth-century France, "balloonomania" has fiercely gripped the nation but all of the pioneering aeronauts are men. The job of shattering that myth falls to a most unlikely figure: a shy girl from a seaside village, entirely devoted to her dream of flight. Sophie is not the first woman to ascend in a balloon, nor the first woman to accompany an aeronaut on a trip, but she will become the first woman to climb to the clouds and steer her own course. The words of Matthew Clark Smith bring Sophies story to light after so many years, while Matt Tavaress atmospheric art and unique perspectives take her to new heights. Genre:  Biography, Juvenile.
