The Great Stewardess Rebellion: How Women Launched a Workplace Revolution at 30,000 Feet | 
Grateful for this book which kept me company through my blowout Saturday night plus a big thank you to everyone who offered help.
pickVery good. Broader in scope than Come Fly the World (which focused on just Pan Am). Worth reading!
pickA well researched book about the fight for flight attendants to be seen as professionals and not just a pretty face. With everything going on in the US right now it was a good reminder of how women used to be treated and how hard they had to fight.
I‘m in the middle of something else, but started this on a whim tonight. It‘s super interesting so far!
pickIf you‘re interested in history and labor movements, this is for you. In the 1960s, great numbers of women were becoming stewardesses. Training focused more on looks and less on safety. They had to quit when they married, became pregnant, or turned 32. Weight requirements were strict. The women became fed up, and this book highlights the pushback against these rules and the brave women who stood up against sexism and discrimination.
pickThis is an excellent work of non-fiction highlighting a little known, or at least rarely discussed, part of workplace and feminist history. The mix of historical events and the individuals profiled in this book were fascinating. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in workplace history, unions, airline history, feminism and unsung heroes of the past. Thank you to Doubleday for the ARC! 📚 Out 4/19/2022!
Current audiobook job. This book is a swift reminder of how awful things used to be.
Evening reading with decaf coffee tonight. About 15% in to The Great Stewardess Rebellion and enjoying the details about the start of the EEOC. Interested to see where this all goes. #NetGalley #TheGreatStewardessRebellion
Started this #NetGalley ARC last night. As an HR professional, woman, and avid traveler, I‘m highly interested in this book! I don‘t remember hearing anything about stewardess working conditions and how they changed them so I expect to learn a lot. Thank you to Doubleday for the ARC. Pub date is 4/19/2022 ✈️ #TheGreatStewardessRebellion
