From NPR correspondent Keith O' Brien comes this thrilling Young Readers' edition of the untold story about pioneering women, including Amelia Earhart, who fought to compete against men in the high-stakes national air races of the 1920s and 1930s--and won. In the years between World War I and World War II, airplane racing was one of the most popular sports in America. Thousands of fans flocked to multiday events, and the pilots who competed in these races were hailed as heroes. Well, the male pilots were hailed. Women who flew planes were often ridiculed by the press, and initially they weren't invited to race. Yet a group of women were determined to take to the sky--no matter what. With guts and grit, they overcame incredible odds both on the ground and in the air to pursue their dreams of flying and racing planes. Fly Girls follows the stories of five remarkable women: Florence Klingensmith, a high-school dropout from North Dakota; Ruth Elder, an Alabama housewife; Amelia Earhart, the most famous, but not necessarily the most skilled; Ruth Nichols, a daughter of Wall Street wealth who longed to live a life of her own; and Louise Thaden, who got her start selling coal in Wichita. Together, they fought for the chance to race against the men--and in 1936 one of them would triumph in the toughest race of all. Complete with photographs and a glossary, Fly Girls celebrates a little-known slice of history wherein tenacious, trail-blazing women braved all obstacles to achieve greatness.Binding Type: Hardcover

BEDSURE a seller that is located in CHINA
The product is made in CHINA
The product arrived in a box with a label, stuck on it not like packaging. You would see if you were buying a blanket at a retail store.
Upon removing it from its airtight inner sealed bag, it had a very strong chemical odor to it, and it was very smashed. I placed it in the dryer on high heat for 10 minutes and it really did help to remove the odor and fluff the blanket up.
I'm a little confused why this blanket is only for a woman and girls? At least that's what I had for when I read the title of the listing so I guess if you are a man, you cannot have this blanket kind of odd and if I were the seller, I would change that because it definitely will affect search results...
I used the blanket on top of my bed as an actual comforter. My bed is a full-size bed. I ordered a queen size blanket, and it covers it nicely.
It is probably one of the softest blankets I have ever felt in my life and yes, I would recommend this if you were in the purchase for a nice large, soft, cozy blanket!

Great size, comfortable blanket
Color: Off White, Size: Full
I Love this blanket. It’s so soft and I sleep with it every night. It’s held up well since I’ve purchased it months ago. There’s very minimal shedding/ lint. I would give it a good wash and dry to help with that before using. Great value for money would purchase again. I have a full size bed and it fits very nicely.
