Amelia Earhart was the Greatest American because...

Amelia was the greatest American of all time because she opened up all kinds of opportunities for women and women pilots. She inspired many women who wanted to have a career in flying to do it, and was also considered a spokesperson for women aviators. Amelia once said that she saw many women choose careers that they didn’t want to do, because of the fact that women couldn’t do what men could do. When asked if men and women should be equal in aviation, Amelia responded by saying “No, not in aviation, in everything”. Amelia was a huge supporter of women’s rights; she believed that whatever men did, women could also do.
