Bessie Coleman Paper Doll Set Nova M Edwards

Bessie Coleman (1892-1926) overcame obstacles to become the first U. S. female pilot of African and Native American descent as well as the first aviator of that heritage to hold an international pilot's license in the U. S. She accomplished both goals by teaching herself French and moving to France to take lessons and receive a pilot's license because she was not permitted to do so in the U. S. This Bessie Coleman paper doll set comes with two paper dolls with different hair-styles. The paper dolls stand approximately 9" tall. The set comes with seven outfits, three of which are based on flight clothes Coleman wore in her photographs, an attached stand, and an envelope to store the dolls and clothes. The paper doll book also includes her brief biography. PLEASE NOTE: The paper used in this book is standard 20 lb. paper.
