FingerFlyer may have a point. A century ago a woman getting a pilot licence was an extraordinary event and it still deserves to be celebrated today, but have we not moved on since?

Don't women nowadays have the same opportunities as men, in aviation or any other field? Does it really make sense in the 21st century to have gender-specific pilot associations? Wouldn't a symbolic gift have been more appropriate for those women turning up at the fly-in (say a flower and a card) - with discounted landing fees for everybody? Am I being too logical?
