Welcome to the History Tricks, where any resemblance to a boring old history lesson is purely

coincidental.

Hi, it's just Susan today.

Becca and I were ready, prepared, scheduled, and quite excited.

To cover someone who is entirely different than the woman I'm talking about today, but due

to a series of unfortunate incidences at the Graham household, including her internet

going out and I don't mean going out as in a figurative thing, it came out of the pole.

She has no internet, not today, not tomorrow, not the day after.

So we decided there was too much and that I would just fly so low and throw out as many

bird puns as I could in the next hour.

I do recommend that you go back and listen to the episode about Zeffer Wright, that would

be episode 151.

Not only because Zeffer was an amazing woman that you need to know about, but because

we already touched on and explained a lot of things that happened when Lady Bird Johnson

and Zeffer Wright's lives were parallel, and also we discussed a lot of things about what

was going on in the country, especially in regard to race relations, not only in Zeffer

Wright's episode, but also in the episode of Fanny Lou Hamer.

So I suggest you go back and listen to both of those if you haven't yet.

And now on with the show.

Let's talk about Lady Bird Johnson.

But first let's drop her into history.

In 1912, Harriet Quimby became the first woman to fly across the English Channel.
