Cochran: An Autobiography by Jacqueline Cochran, Maryann B. Brinley Inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame in 1972 and a member of the National Women's Hall of Fame, Jacqueline Cochran was a force to be reckoned with. She became a record breaker in air history as well as a business success. She established one of two speed records set in 1938, flying a converted P-35 racer. On Sept. 3, 1938, Cochran established a record time for women, crossing North America in 10 hr 12 min 55 sec in a plane similar to the P-35 Pursuit. In 1935 Cochran became the first woman to enter the Bendix Transcontinental Air Race and in 1938 the first woman to win it. |

The
Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan RawlingsThis powerful Pulitzer Prize winner is as compelling now as when it was written. In this classic story of the Baxter family of inland Florida and their wild, hard, satisfying life, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings wrote one of the great novels of our times. It's a picture of life that is far and refreshingly removed from modern patterns of living and becomes universal in its revelation of simple courageous people and the abiding beliefs they live by. |

The
Sojourner by Marjorie Kinnan RawlingsMarjorie Kinnan Rawlings' last novel. |
|
Short
Stories by Marjorie Kinnan RawlingsThese stories are steeped in the locale of the Florida backwoods, yet the themes are universal, and although Rawlings was not a feminist, her female characters are feisty and do not suffer lightly indignities imposed by men (for example, in "Gal Young Un"). Most, originally published in the New Yorker, the Saturday Evening Post and Scribner's Magazine between 1928 & 1953 these stories are presented in order of publication. |
