Amelia Earhart is one of the most significant figures in changing outlooks towards women in the early twentieth century. Her accomplishments were paramount in the opening of doors for the potential of women. Born on the 24th of July in 1897, Earhart entered a prominent family in the town of Atchison, Kansas. From a privileged upbringing Earhart would rise above the clouds and all expectations placed on women by society. She would become the matriarch for all females in the field of aviation. Earhart would pave the runway for outstanding women of the 20th century.She was said to be a tomboy who was not interested in normal little girl activities. Some of Amelias favorite activities were climbing trees, sledding, and hunting rats with her rifle (Wikipedia).She had a special spirit.This search for action would provide her a foundation for the necessary confidence to forge her own way in life.
