United States Women in Aviation, 1940-1985 (original) (raw)
1990, Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space
Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series:

The Status of Women Faculty in Four-Year Aviation Higher Education Programs
10.1 %) were female. Eighty faculty were identified in academic leadership positions, and of these faculty leaders, 8 (10%) were women. These participation rates were found to be slightly higher than those found among the pilot population and in the aviation industry in general. The level of women's involvement in aviation higher education has increased in comparison to the findings of four out of five previous studies on this subject and has remained stable.
The Future of Women in Aviation: Trends in Participation in Postsecondary Aviation Education
The purpose of this research was to evaluate the trends in participation by women in postsecondary aviation programs in the United States both at the student and faculty levels. Data concerning the number of students who completed baccalaureate degrees in aviation was collected via the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). It was found that 560 (10.5%) students among the 5,355 total that completed a degree in an aviation related field in 2007 were female. Also, of 434 full-time aviation faculty members employed at 74 different aviation programs meeting the criteria of this study, 35 (8.1%) were found to be female. 84 faculty were identified in an academic leadership positions and of these individuals, 10 (1 1.9%) were women. These participation rates were found to be higher than those found among the aircraft pilot population and in the aviation industry in general.

WOMEN ON AEROPLANES Inflight Magazine #1
edited by Annett Busch, Marie-Hélène Gutberlet, 2018
The multi-layered research and exhibition project Women on Aeroplanes seeks to change the parameters of how we see and listen to the achievements and practices of women in a multitude of moments, being part of a transatlantic and transnational history, with a focus on the struggles for independence and their after effects. The transition from mobilizing all possible forces to win a battle and its hangover, the disenchantment of not being part of any negotiation concerning the future, seems to crystalise a history lesson about power politics. The disappearance of women in politics after their strong visibility during the times ...
Usefulness of Collegiate Aviation Publications: What Aviation Educators Say
Collegiate Aviation Review International
Evaluations of refereed research journals typically target their quality. Because of the hybrid nature of aviation education as a discipline and its orientation toward applied research, this research expands the scope of the evaluation process to encompass professional publications that address practitioner interests and focuses on three educational areas: 1) quality, 2) contribution to the discipline, and 3) relevance to ongoing research. Thirty-one out of 205 aviation educators queried responded to the survey by selecting and assessing periodicals pertinent to the discipline. One trade journal, Aviation Week and Space Technology, and four peer-refereed journals, the Collegiate Aviation Review, the Journal of Air Transportation, International Journal of Applied Aviation Studies, and the Journal of Aviation and Aerospace Education and Research achieved the highest composite scores based on analysis of the survey responses.
