Join us as we virtually welcome Julia Cooke & Catherine Grace Katz to discuss Cooke’s new book of narrative history, “Come Fly The World: The Jet Age Story of the Women of Pan Am.” The book centers on the remarkable unseen role women flight attendants of the 60s and 70s played on the world stage. The book reveals the largely hidden role played by international airline stewardesses, as they were then known, in the Vietnam War, while positing them as a cross between a diplomat, an adrenaline junkie, and a third-wave feminist. The two authors will also cover topics about women performing public diplomacy in unofficial roles across history.
