In this presentation, Michele Albion brings together Earhart’s statements from a variety of sources and covers a wide range of topics, including her flights and opinions on politics, work, religion, and gender equality. Albion shares Earhart’s quotations so that her words, as well as her achievements, may inspire a new generation. A fearless pioneer and a record-breaking pilot, Amelia Earhart engaged the nation and the world when she became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. Today people remember her most for her disappearance on the last leg of her round-the-world flight in 1937. But more than a record breaker or a ghost lost over the Pacific, Earhart was ambitious, driven, and strong at a time when all three of these traits were considered unfeminine. Earhart’s words and her example encouraged women to step beyond the narrow confines of their traditional roles.
