Her extraordinary life, chronicled in her mesmerizing memoir West with the Night, is a testament to the indomitable will of a woman who dared to soar above societal constraints and embrace her boundless potential.
Born in 1902 in England, Beryl Markham's childhood was marked by a deep affinity for the wild and untamed. She spent her early years roaming the vast African landscape with her father, developing a profound respect for nature and a yearning for adventure.
Her passion for aviation blossomed at a young age. In 1926, she defied convention and became one of the first women to obtain a commercial pilot's license in Africa. With unwavering determination, she pursued her dreams, flying solo across the perilous Atlantic Ocean from England to New York in 1936.
