The Coupe Femina was an award of 2000 francs established in 1910 by the French Woman's Magazine "Femina" to honor female pilots in the early twentieth century. It was given to the woman who by sunset of 31 December of each year had flown the longest (both time and distance) flight without landing. It was first awarded to Belgium's Hélène Dutrieux on December 31, 1910 for setting a record time for a woman's world non-stop flight.
