A woman flying historian, so to speak, did a magnificent one-volume ( Harriet Quimby scrapbook) a few years ago which is the definitive and balanced view of this historical Lady and her many roles- she had other activities- was a journalist for a prominent magazine at the time of her death! as well as an exhibition airwoman. There is no mention in the entire book- liberally photo- and sketch illustrated of her ever having been married. Quimby is a popular ( Boston name) but she did not come from Boston, though she died there in her fatal crash landing. I have visited her grave site in Kensico Cemetery and there is no hint of her ever having been married it is just Miss Harriet Quimby, summary of her flying career and also that she was dramatic editor of Leslie"s weekly but no hint of her being married.
No, as far as is known. Harriet was never married, she held a variety of jobs and hobbies in the New York area and shared an apartment with an aspiring actress at the Victoria Hotel ( since demolished) . She did not have any kids- to our knowledge.

Harriet Quimby, the first licensed American female pilot, faced challenges related to breaking gender barriers in aviation and gaining acceptance in a male-dominated field. Bessie Coleman, the first African American woman to earn an international pilot's license, faced challenges related to racism and discrimination in the aviation industry, as well as limited access to training opportunities available to her. Both women overcame these obstacles through determination and perseverance to achieve their aviation goals.

No.
While most people think of Amelia Earhart, there were actually other female pilots before her. The first woman that we know about to earn a pilot's license was Harriet Quimby, back in 1911. And the first African-American woman to earn a pilot's license was Bessie Coleman, in 1922.
