What to expect
But when Lilian grew up and learned that inventing wasn’t considered women’s work, she decided on the next best thing. She got a job at the U.S. Patent Office typing up plans for brand-new inventions—and constructing each contraption in her mind. Soon, she engineered her own fantastic flying machines, testing and
tweaking her designs and overcoming each obstacle. Lilian found inspiration in nature and her many failures until her biggest dream finally took flight.
Science writer Kirsten W. Larson creatively captures in vivid detail the inventive, courageous, and independent Emma Lilian Todd, a true aviation pioneer.
