Women's History Month is in October for Canada and in March for the United States. Since society is so inter-connected via the Internet and social media, the CAHS is taking this opportunity to reflect on women's contributions and participation in Canada's aviation history and industry and highlight some research available to learn more. A search of the Internet reveals a number of research articles about the Canadian Women’s Auxiliary Air Force in the Second World War, specific aviatrixes' accomplishments, and Canada's Hall of Fame inductees.
This page provides a list of resources and publications.
The CAHS has direct connections with a number of female authors who write about Canadian aviation and/or Canadian women in aviation. Check out the books featured below in the CAHS Store to see the books available from CAHS authors/members Danielle Metcalfe-Chenail, Elizabeth Muir, Deana Driver, Shirlee Matheson. We would like to thank author Danielle Metcalfe-Chenail for putting together this graphic that identifies ten books about women in Canadian Aviation.
