WOMAN IS A PILOT!

I found this link interesting since it’s a biography of a woman, who became a pilot.

I really like this article about Amelia Earhart, who was born in the nineteenth century , when it was a beginning of changes in social role of women.Women started writing , working  and finally , becoming a pilot ! Ihave a friend of mine who is a pilot, most airplane crew don’t have a woman-pilot  nowadays ! It’s very rare to see it. I think it was a significant shift. The fact that she had long-distance flights impressed me a lot .

Amelia Earhart: “Please know I am quite aware of the hazards.  I want to do it because I want  to do it.  Women must try like men have tried.  When they fail, failure must be but a challenge to others.”

This quote made me think that she was one of the feminists at that time. I hear a strong temper that arises from her words :”I want to do it because I want to do it”. Amelia thought that if a man could do it then a woman could  try to do it!

I love her words that even inspired me!
