Gertrude E. Bacon

Gertrude E. Bacon was a pioneering British aviator and educator born in 1874. She was one of the early women involved in aviation, teaching flying and promoting flight during the early 20th century. Aside from her contributions to aviation, she was also an accomplished writer and teacher, inspiring interest in science and exploration. Bacon broke gender barriers in a male-dominated field, advocating for women's participation in aviation and science. Her work helped lay the groundwork for future generations of women in aviation and education, making her an important figure in both areas.
