To mark the 50th anniversary of the International Women’s Air & Space Museum in Cleveland, we’re setting our sights on the skies and beyond! Women have fearlessly redefined what is possible in aviation and space exploration—whether taking flight into the sky, solving complex calculations on the ground, or walking in zero gravity—and in the process have pushed through untold barriers and broken numerous glass ceilings.

The CBC has curated this vibrant collection of titles for kids and teens to honor the brave aviators, groundbreaking engineers, and pioneering astronauts who paved the way.
