The Endeavour of Elsie Mackay
Elsie Mackay. So much for people to admire. Wealthy, physically attractive, and intelligent. A successful moving picture actor, the first female jockey, and employed as an interior designer for the P&O shipping line, her father’s company.
In personality she’s charming, sensitive and driven. As a person she’s hard to dislike. Her one major passion, out of all her many famous and infamous fields of endeavour, is aviation. Dedicated and professional, she’s making waves in the male-dominated world of flight. Elected to the advisory committee of pilots to the British Empire Air League, she’s showing her worth to the world, even if she has to fight against the wishes of her magnate father who despises air flight.
One of the Paris Peacemakers series, this fictional account of part of this remarkable woman’s life shines a light on interwar conditions. From the shipyards and the tenements of Glasgow to the fascism of Mussolini’s Italy, the story brings home the impact of rebuilding after the Great War, and the life of an incredible woman!
