NO PLACE FOR A LADY - The Story of Canadian Women Pilots, 1928-1992 by Shirley Render is the first book ever written about Canada's women pilots. The stories within, told mostly in the women's own words, are revealing, inspiring, maddening, and often funny. Based on hundreds of personal interviews with men and women in civil and military aviation, the book reveals the women's determined characters and the often single-minded quest of Canada's female aviators from 1928 to the present.

Although it covers every aspect from 1928, when the first woman qualified for a pilot's licence, to 1992, when Canada's first woman astronaut rocketed into space, the book is much more than an historical account of the progress of Canada's female flyers. It is the inside story: a mixture of narrative and anecdotal history that reveals the women's hopes, dreams, frustrations, and accomplishments. It has the story of the ATA (Air Transport Auxiliary) in it as well as the story of the WASPS.

Over two hundred photographs, most never-before published, add visual impetus to this exciting story.
