Life in New York City
for Miss Harriet Quimby
|
|

Harriet poses for pictures in New York City. At this
time Harriet was a very successful writer for Leslie Weekly
magazine. Furthermore, she was slowly gaining national
recognition as being the first licensed woman pilot in America
and the first woman to fly solo across the English Channel.
Many women in Harriet's society circle carried
cigarette cases during the early 1920's as a fashionable
accessory. This is a photo of Harriet's silver cigarette
case.
