Lit Birdwoman- female of Aviator. the term was first applied to Woman aircraft pilots in l9l2 with the advent of Harriet Quimby. term immediately caught on. It is not normally applied to female balloonists or lighter-than-air operatives- which there have been a few. Aida Acosta piloted what we would now call a Blimp in Paris in June of l903, almost six months before Wright Bros flight! She is not called an Aviatrix, unlilke Amelia, Harriet Quimby, etc. Custom tends to restrict the term to female Airplane pilots.
