march 2
Amelia Earhart
how about some quotes instead:
"One of my favorite phobias is that girls, especially those whose tastes aren't routine, often don't get a fair break... It has come down through the generations, an inheritance of age-old customs which produced the corollary that women are bred to timidity."
"Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others."
"...now and then women should do for themselves what men have already done - occasionally what men have not done--thereby establishing themselves as persons, and perhaps encouraging other women toward greater independence of thought and action. Some such consideration was a contributing reason for my wanting to do what I so much wanted to do."
April l9 - 20, 1935 - First person to fly solo from Los Angeles to Mexico City; 13hrs 23min
May 8, 1935 - First person to fly solo nonstop from Mexico City to Newark; 14hrs 19min
June 1, 1937 - Began flight around the world June 1937; first person to fly from the Red Sea to India
January 11, 1935 - First person to solo the 2,408-mile distance across the Pacific between Honolulu and Oakland, California; also first flight where a civilian aircraft carried a two-way radio
her body has never been found, no one knows what happened to her.
