'Flying Girl' Summary
'Flying Girl' tells the story of Orissa Kane, a young woman who takes on the responsibility of providing for her family after her brother, a brilliant inventor, is injured. Her brother's invention, a flying machine, becomes the focus of her efforts, and Orissa dives headfirst into the world of early aviation, navigating the challenges of a male-dominated field. With unwavering determination and a strong sense of duty, Orissa not only learns the intricacies of her brother's work but also embraces the potential of the flying machine. The story follows Orissa's journey as she overcomes obstacles, confronts societal expectations, and ultimately makes significant contributions to the development of her brother's invention. Through her passion, resourcefulness, and unwavering spirit, Orissa demonstrates the transformative power of dreams, the importance of family, and the strength of a woman's determination in a rapidly changing world.Book Details
