I received many distinctions throughout my life such as the Legion of Honor, the Peace Medal of Morocco or also the Knight badge of the Order of Public Health. #HistoryatVasco

What I have in hand are metal skis, I invent them to handle the planes more easily on the sand and also use them later to ski on the dunes of the Sahara. #HistoryatVasco

She is Dorothy Lawrence she also infiltrated the First World War as I did. I'm very proud of not being the only one who wants to do the same thing that men do. #HistoryatVasco

[Marie Marvingt @MMarvingt]

I am very proud. I was the first woman to enlist in military aviation, but not only that, I was also the first to carry out air combats. #HistoryatVasco

[Marie Marvingt @MMarvingt]

After not being able to fight in the army I joined the "Chasseurs Alpins" (mountain fighters in the French army) evacuating the wounded by skiing. #HistoryatVasco

[Marie Marvingt @MMarvingt]

I founded the first civil school of skiing in France. #HistoryatVasco

I'm a bit stubborn, until I get something, I don't stop. #HistoryatVasco

[Marie Marvingt @MMarvingt]

I'm not afraid to fly, I feel qualified for it. #HistoryatVasco

[Marie Marvingt @MMarvingt]

Any woman is capable of doing everything I do, she just have to try it. #HistoryatVasco

[Marie Marvingt @MMarvingt]

I want to participate in the First World War but they do not leave me because I'm a woman so I have decided that I'm going to pass myself off as a man and I'm going to infiltrate. #HistoryatVasco

[Marie Marvingt @MMarvingt]

I am the first woman to fly the plane, Antoinette, one of the most difficult plane to fly.

[Marie Marvingt @MMarvingt]

In 1910, I obtained the title of aircraft pilot. #HistoryatVasco

[Marie Marvingt @MMarvingt]

I also practice different sports

[Marie Marvingt @MMarvingt]

I have shown that I can do the stages of the tour of France just like the men. Even though I did it behind them because they did not let me, I got it. Many did not finish but I did. #HistoryatVasco

[Marie Marvingt @MMarvingt]

In 1931, I designed the first prototype ambulance plane called Captain Écheman Challenge. #HistoryatVasco

[Marie Marvingt @MMarvingt]

In 1899 I was one of the first women to get a driver's license. #HistoryatVasco

[Marie Marvingt @MMarvingt]

In 1901 I made my first balloon trip, to all the people it seemed strange, but to me, it seemed a great step for the woman. #HistoryatVasco
