If her accomplishments, which are many, are considered, she will be a shoe-in. One of her descendants was on Antiques Roadshow with some photos and info on Bessica. He stated that she wasn't very well known, and went on to say she was the first female aviator to fly solo in a plane that her and her husband built. She was also a dentist, and a physician, and all before being allowed to vote. She should be more well known, and if anyone can improve her profile with photos and/or info I would be most appreciative. Thank you, Mark Townsend
