FEARLESS: HARRIET QUIMBY A LIFE WITHOUT LIMIT
by Don Dahler
Harriet Quimby comes from humble beginnings and soars to the skies, by pursuing her own hopes and dreams. First by conquering journalism and then by taking up flying. This was back in the day when airplane prototypes were simply fabric-covered wooden wings, which sounds terrifying to me.
Ms. Quimby believed in real journalism, not that fake variety that we see so much of in today's culture. She died as she had lived, fearlessly at age 37.
I received a complimentary copy of #fearless from #papress I was under no obligation to post a review.
