We’re back with our most desired 101 list yet! 101 Women Pilots of Instagram
You know how we do this one, selecting 101 women entrepreneurs and professionals from different industries per year that stand out in their respective fields. To date we’ve done 101 Women Entrepreneurs, 101 Black-Owned Brands, 101 Women In Art, and now coming to you with the ultimate #GOSSY Pilots of the Instagram world. The pilot industry is one of the most undermined space for women. Only 6.8% of commercial pilots in the world are female. This is a staggering statistic given that just a few years ago it was less than half. On a positive note, this also means that more women are joining the industry, as well as proving it is possible to fly while being a mother. Our next Aviation Issue Cover girl, @PilotMaria is one of them. She proves that a woman can follow her dream of flying full time all while being a mother and influencer (can we say #GOALS).
Here is 100+ women who are following their dreams, and living proof that the sky is just the starting point!
