      From 1799 to 1942. Jeanne-Genevi\u00e8ve Garnerin, the first lady to jump, actually she dropped in a basket under a parachute, plus innovators such as K\u00e4the Paulus, Tiny Broadwick and Adeline Gray are profiled alongside the lady daredevils and record-setters.

      \u00a0Women paratroopers, clandestine operators, journalists, medical personnel and other brave ladies jumped into hostile often times deadly combat zones to provide aid and comfort to their fellow warriors, report on and photograph the battlefield and sometimes take up arms themselves. Many of these brave ladies perished under the most horrific conditions.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t

      Women leapt from planes and helicopters to save lives and property, sometimes in the most adverse conditions. The parachute was not a key to their life but was just a method for commuting to work.\u00a0<\/p>\n

      These women are truly un-sung heroes, doing their jobs by way of parachute, while receiving little or no recognition.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t
