The Flying Girl
1911
The Flying Girl, written by L. Frank Baum and published in 1911, follows Orissa Kane, a determined young woman supporting her brother's dream of becoming an aviator. The narrative blends adventure and melodrama, exploring themes of ambition, family, and the challenges of early aviation. As Orissa navigates the complexities of her family's struggles and external threats, she finds herself in a perilous race against a dangerous adversary. This novel, notable for its feminist perspective, was illustrated by Joseph Pierre Nuyttens and is a precursor to its sequel, The Flying Girl and Her Chum, published in 1912.

“Without knowing it the girl was arguing on the side of the world's expert criminologists, who hold that to destroy an offender cannot benefit society so much as to redeem him.””
— L. Frank Baum
