    "And so this is the great Nevada desert!" Peggy Prescott wrinkled her nose rather disdainfully as she gazed from the open window of the car out over the white, glittering expanse-dotted here and there with gloomy-looking clumps of sage brush-through which they had been traveling for some little time past. "This is it," nodded her brother Roy; "what do you think of it, sis?" "Um-er, I shall have to wait a while before I answer that," rejoined Peggy judicially. "Well, here's Jimsy; let's ask him," cried Roy, as a lad of his own age, accompanied by a slender, graceful girl, came down the aisle of the car and approached the section in which the two young Prescotts were sitting. "Jimsy Bancroft," demanded Roy, "we are now on the great Nevada desert, or on the edge of it. Does it meet with your approval?" "There's plenty of it anyhow," laughed Jimsy, "and really it's very much like what I expected it would be."

    Only seven years had passed since the Wright brothers' illustrious maiden flight, providing a fascinating view into the early aviation frenzy. Astonishingly, a teenage girl should be in it. There are various places in the novel when the author makes overt statements about how unfairly girls and women are treated, but these statements are subtly refuted.The author relies on ""feminine"" stereotypes by portraying Peggy as overly sentimental, ""naturally"" adept at nursing skills, and too quick to let her brother take credit for the things she'd done. This is even though Peggy is depicted as a budding suffragette who protests that women and girls should be given the same opportunities and prize money as men and boys in the air races. Despite the author's efforts to portray Peggy as the genuine ""new"" girl, Jess, Peggy's companion, exhibits a more persistent sense of independence.
