From the back cover:
As Shakespeare's Prospero forged his destiny by churning winds into "The Tempest," Emily wove the winds of chance, of change, and of opportunity into her career as America's first woman airline pilot.
"It was Emily who paved the way for our profession. Emily has the style and grace that won acceptance for us all."
–Lori Cline, airline captain and author
"The 'den mother' of the United 737-300 fleet, Emily was always a pleasure to work with. I actually enjoyed having her on my jumpseat. Her friendly, easy-going personality made every checkride pleasant."
–Bonny W. Simi, Olympic athlete and United Airlines Captain
"Women have been flying from the beginning of flight, but Emily opened the door to the airline industry. By doing her job well, with a quiet manner that won the respect of her peers and the industry, she made it easier for others to follow. Thank you, Emily!"
–Connie Bowlin, Delta Airlines captain and warbird pilot
"Emily is an enduring source of inspiration for all who seek not only the freedom of the skies but also to go as high as their talents and determination will take them. She has taught that through patience and perseverance everyone can be empowered to unleash the power that lies within."
–Ilene Yokoyama-Reed, Director, Women's Business Center, State of Colorado
