Produktbeschreibung
Only seven years had passed since the Wright brothers' illustrious maiden flight, providing a fascinating view into the early aviation frenzy. Astonishingly, a teenage girl should be in it. There are various places in the novel when the author makes overt statements about how unfairly girls and women are treated, but these statements are subtly refuted. The author relies on ""feminine"" stereotypes by portraying Peggy as overly sentimental, ""naturally"" adept at nursing skills, and too quick to let her brother take credit for the things she'd done. This is even though Peggy is depicted as a budding suffragette who protests that women and girls should be given the same opportunities and prize money as men and boys in the air races. Despite the author's efforts to portray Peggy as the genuine ""new"" girl, Jess, Peggy's companion, exhibits a more persistent sense of independence.

Autorenporträt
There's not much out there about Margaret Burnham as a writer. It appears that the piece "The Girl Aviators' Motor Butterfly" that has been attributed to her may be fictitious. The book might have been published under a pen name or as a part of a series released by a publishing house or syndicate like the Stratemeyer Syndicate, which published a number of children's books under several pen names. The novel "The Girl Aviators' Motor Butterfly" is probably classified as children's literature because it primarily deals with themes of friendship, aviation, and adventure. It might chronicle the adventures of young pilots pursuing their aspirations of flight while navigating difficulties and overcoming roadblocks. It's challenging to give a thorough account of Margaret Burnham's life and literary career in the absence of more details. Nevertheless, whether authentic or not, her work probably enhanced the diversity of children's books and encouraged young readers to go into the realm of adventure and flight.
