WHAT IS HER IMPACT?

Although she is most known for being a pioneer in flying, Amelia Earhart also had a
significant impact on women's rights. She spent her entire life trying to get into
positions that had only been held by men. In addition to working as an international
pilot, social worker, and assistant photographer, she also enjoyed driving and
participating in sports. Also, she had financial independence, which was uncommon
for women in this era.

Earhart had her hair cut short and was dressed like a man.
She also owned her own clothing brand,
Amelia Earhart Fashions, although this is a little-known fact.
In addition to dresses, Earhart's range of clothing also
included women's blouses, shirts, suits, and slacks.

Earhart changed what was unthinkable into a reality. For some,

it was unbelievable that a woman could fly and even unheard of.
These ideas were tested by Amelia Earhart, who achieved fame and
changed public perceptions of women's skills, technology, and aviation.
