pps.
So, dump the first woman military pilot. It was 1914 in Russia, and nothing happened in the UK for 80 years! (except ATA, which was not RAF)
Ist female RAF pilot was not until 1990, 1st female red Arrow in 2009.
And maybe replace your 1st female commercial pilot?
In a way, you have a problem with your speech:
In their time, the only folk with money and facilities to try out this new fangled stuff were white men. So the Firsts were by white men! Can't rewrite history.
And, in effect, many of these women "firsts" were exceptional beings who could push their way to the forefront. But it is arguable whether they really changed perceptions or "shattered" the mould: it took our UK community 50-odd years for BA to recruit a female pilot, the RAF 80-odd years!
Unfortunately, we are not all exceptional, or well off, or lucky enough to know the right people... etc etc. Perhaps all we can aspire to do, and motivate those around us to do, is "just" become decent humans doing our best?
