  • Description

    From the moment the first stewardesses took flight in 1930, flight attendants became glamorous icons of femininity. The actual work that flight attendants did?ensuring passenger safety, assuaging fears, serving food and drinks, all while conforming to airlines? Barry tells the history of flight attendants, tracing the evolution of their glamorized image as ideal women and their activism as trade unionists and feminists. Barry argues that largely because their glamour obscured their labor, flight attendants unionized in the late 1940s and 1950s to demand recognition and respect as workers and self-styled professionals.
