Jeannette Piccard: Blazing a Trail to the Stratosphere
Jeannette Ridlon Piccard (1895-1981) was born to overcome boundaries. A scientist with a strong interest in psychology, philosophy and theology, she dared to dream big, breaking through the metaphorical glass ceiling to become the first female balloon pilot in the US, the first woman to reach the stratosphere, and finally, becoming one of the first 11 female Episcopal priests in the USA.
