Then there’s the trip back to the years 1965 to 1975, the crazy music the wild clothes and the lawsuits brought to give women the right to get a credit card, hold a job while married, and to work while pregnant.īe aware that there’s no coffee, tea or me? in this book instead, it’s “Mad Men” meets a glass ceiling, and destroys it. In addition to those anecdotes, most of Cooke’s subjects seized adventure and cheap off-duty travel, which also gives this book a hint of travelogue but with less romance and more practicality. On one hand, author Julia Cooke tells the tales of Lynne, Karen, Clare, Tori, and Hazel, why they decided to become stewardesses (a word that fits the timeframe) and what their experiences were on the job. If you separate “Come Fly the World” into two different camps – which may be difficult, since the book as a whole is pretty excellent – you’ll see that there really are two parts to it: the story of five women at Pan Am, and the story of women in the 1960s. And in the spring of 1975, three of these women went to Vietnam for one final time.
