Excerpt From Summary of Julia Cooke's Come Fly the World

#1

The author, a woman in her twenties, was interviewing for a job as a stewardess for Pan Am in 1969. The company had advertised, Why don’t you join the country club. But another Pan Am ad frequently aired in 1969: a gorgeous woman with flawlessly applied eye makeup walking down the street.

In college, the author listened to her peers debate American intervention in Vietnam, which was never officially declared a war. She began to doubt the morality of the wars she was fighting, and gradually changed her mind and conviction that she could do more in the real world than in a lab.
