6. Miao Xiaohong

Miao Xiaohong, an 82-year-old Chinese female pilot, set a record in the country's aviation industry in June 2019, after she flew a small plane for 40 minutes in Beijing. Miao was one of China's second batch of female pilots, who has flown a number of important missions over her 30-year career, including transportation and emergency rescues. In 1989, Miao retired and started writing - she published her nonfiction works A Daughter of the Sky and China's First Batch of Female Pilots, in which she depicts the life of China's women aviators back in the day.
