Flying through the glass ceiling

Since the Dutch national airline was founded in 1919, there have been changes aplenty. Not least in the kind of careers women can expect to aim for. 

Directed by Ismael ten Heuvel, produced by pinkrabbit, this lovely spot, 100 Years of Progress, follows the history of aviation via the story of three generations of women employed by KLM. For one little girl, the sky's the limit as, inspired by her mother’s and grandmother’s work as flight attendants, she aims higher and takes to the air as a pilot. 

The gorgeously crafted 90-second film is packed with lush period detail, including fab hairstyles, historical uniforms, props and of course aircraft.
