Bessie Coleman is also portrayed in the book Wings and Rockets: The Story of Women in Air and Space by Jeannine Atkins (also the author of Girls Who Looked Under Rocks), published in 2003. It is a wonderful, inspiring, biographical, slightly fictional, but mostly historical account of the lives of women in flight from the pioneers in the 1900's to the present time. Illustrations by Dusan Petricic are delightful.
