KALAMAZOO, Mich.—In honor of Women’s History Month, the Air Zoo
is celebrating Women in Aviation and Space Day on March 12. At 1
and 2 p.m., visitors will be able to meet a female aviator
character from the past, as she tells tales about women from
aviation and space history. Visitors will learn about the
accomplishments of Amelia Earhart, the Women Airforce Service
Pilots (WASP) and Sally Ride. They’ll also have the chance to
speak with women who have had personal experience in the fields
of space exploration and aviation. A special arrangement of
photos, artifacts and clothing from women in aviation will be on
display all month long. Congress first declared a Women’s
History Week in 1981. In 1987 Congress expanded the celebration
to the entire month of March and approved the National Women’s
History Month Resolution every year since. For more information:
