The Flying Housewives is a true story written by Rita Juanita Mock. Women have rarely participated in circumnavigation of the globe. The play revolves around the first woman who circumnavigated the globe. However, if you are thinking that it is about Emalia Earhart then you are wrong. Emalia Earhart is popularly known as the first woman to circumnavigate the globe. However, she was not the first lady to perform this daunting and challenging task. it was actually Jerrie Mock, who performed this incredible task.
This incredible lady flew through sandstorms and while she was already on the journey, Jerrie discovered that someone had tried to sabotage her plane even before her first flight. It was painful for her to know that her plane’s malfunctioning was due to some foreign intervention to defeat her. However, despite putting her complaint forward, she chose the other way to continue her journey and win the race to prove her strength.
