Bestselling author Tracey Enerson Wood on her historical novel, Katharine: The Wright Sister, and how Katharine Wright changed the course of aviation history
Send us a text
This June, I sat down with bestselling author Tracey Enerson Wood to talk about her newest historical novel, Katharine, the Wright Sister: A Novel (2024). The book shines a spotlight on Katharine Wright, the often-overlooked sister of Wilbur and Orville Wright—whose contributions were vital to the invention and promotion of the airplane.
Tracey and I talk about her path from registered nurse to novelist, her love of writing about “hidden women in history,” and her other works: The Engineer’s Wife, The War Nurse, The President’s Wife, Homefront Cooking, and Life Hacks for Military Spouses.
Since recording this, I’ve begun work on my women in aviation history textbook—and Katharine appears in Chapter One, in a sidebar about the hidden women who shaped early flight.
Listen in for a lively, inspiring conversation about writing, research, and the women who changed history.
