2nd Influence: Amelia Earhart was a strong supporter of women's rights!

Amelia supported women’s rights very strongly; she thought men and women were equal in everything they did. She spoke for girls and women who wanted to become fliers or anything else. She lived during a time when women weren’t allowed to have careers. Most women didn’t drive cars let alone fly airplanes. “Women must try to do things men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others” Amelia said. Amelia became the president of the Ninety-Nine organization; this was the first organization for licensed women pilots. Amelia’s legacy isn’t only for women but for men as well; find out what you love to do and then just do it!
