I don't really have any cool articles about de Laroche besides the Wikipedia page on her, but it is quite good and a shortish read, so very worthwhile. There is also this short article from the University of Houston, complete with a 3-minute audio version.
The week of 8 March is also International Women of Aviation Week, celebrating all the female aviators (people are getting away from using gender-specific words like aviatrix that weren't necessary in English anyway), including Jacqueline Cochran, the wartime head of Women Airforce Service Pilots in the U.S. and who would go on to be the first woman to break the sound barrier; Elizabeth "Bessie" Coleman, the first African-American and Native American woman aviator and presumably the first licensed female pilot of mixed race to participate in air races and barnstorming stunt shows across the U.S. and Europe; Leah Hing, the first Chinese-American female pilot and who started her own flight school after the Japanese invasion of Manchuria in 1931; among many other women past and present who are earning their pilot's license.

I am assuming all of you have seen the latest issue with Enzo's chant made in 2022 - it's not ok! I've read and have been told all sort of defense that range from different sensibilities to a more crass approach but no foul was meant etc., Nope, sorry, no excuse. True, Argentina has perhaps a population that is a homogeneous society like some have said, how true, I don't know, however they are not indigenous to the area. In the year 2024 to have a myopic view speaks more to the ignorance of the person or group defending it let alone those who chant it than anything else. I've found a video that has the chant itself and at least the presenter had the good sense to pull back from it.
