Ruth Law was at the Boston Air Meet and watched Harriet Quimby fall to her death when her Bleriot XI upended, and pitched her and her passenger out of the cockpit. Just one month earlier, Law had enrolled in the Burgess Flying School. Quimby's death shook Law, but did not stop her. She tasted a sense of fulfillment in flying and would not return to the traditional role defined by society. "I purchased a Wright biplane because it seemed to me they had the greatest success. Harriet died in a monoplane, but that didn't scare me. I figured it was the monoplane's fault."
