"A compelling slice from the lives of two determined, outspoken and passionate women." -- Publishers Weekly

Set in 1933, a meticulously researched picture book celebrates the courage of two American heroes--Amelia Earhart and Eleanor Roosevelt--as they secretly slip away from a White House dinner, commandeer an airplane, and fly over Washington, D.C., while still in their gorgeous evening gowns. 25,000 first printing.
