In *Touching The Sky: The Extraordinary Story Of An Australian Trailblazer Who Became The Longest Flying Female Airline Pilot In The World*, Deborah Lawrie delivers a candid, cheeky memoir about grit, ambition, and the hard-earned right to belong in the cockpit.

 

Growing up in 1950s Australia, Lawrie sets her sights on aviation long before the industry is ready to take her seriously. What follows is a vivid account of training, working life in the era of smoky cabins and rigid expectations, and the relentless pushback she faced as she pursued a commercial airline career. When she’s told women can’t do the job—or can’t do it while raising a family—she takes the fight further than anyone expects, challenging discrimination through a landmark court case.

 

Perfect for readers of Australian memoir, women’s history, aviation stories, and true tales of social change, this is a sharply observed, deeply personal read.

 

Add it to your shelf and discover the story that helped reshape Australian aviation.
