Cessna was a big proponent of private aviation, and many women got their private pilot's license. It takes passing ground school (1 semester) and a test, followed by a few months of hands-on lessons (once a week).
My mom did it (in the 70s), and she's still so proud, as are we all of her. She had a pilot's license, and though she never pursued it further, it was a huge achievement for her. My dad did it too, and enjoyed flying for years.
