EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the momentous achievement of Raymonde de Laroche, the first woman in the world to receive a pilot's license for an aeroplane. Born Elise Raymonde Deroche in France in 1882, she defied societal norms and gravitated towards the exhilarating world of aviation. In 1909, she made history by earning her pilot's license after undergoing rigorous training under the tutelage of aviation pioneer Gabriel Voisin. Seated confidently in the open cockpit of a Voisin biplane, Raymonde de Laroche exudes a sense of determination and courage. Her goggles and flying helmet are in place, ready for takeoff. The image is a testament to her groundbreaking accomplishment and her unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of what was considered possible for women in the early 1900s. The era of the 1900s was a time of great innovation and progress in the field of aviation. Raymonde de Laroche's achievement paved the way for future generations of female pilots and challenged the notion that flying was a solely male domain. This photograph is a powerful reminder of her trailblazing spirit and her significant contribution to the history of aviation.
