Harriet Quimby (May 11, 1875 – July 1, 1912) was an American pioneering aviator, journalist, and film screenwriter. In 1911, she became the first woman in the United States to receive a pilot's license and in 1912 the first woman to fly across the English Channel.[1][2] Although Quimby died at the age of 37 in a flying accident, she strongly influenced the role of women in aviation.
