What was difficulties faced by Amelia Earhart to become an aviator?

Amelia's flying accomplishments proved influential to American

pilots and pilots of the world alike. She was a creative impulse

within the Ninety-Nines organization, and a stimulus for womankind

to replace outdated social norms. She encouraged women to hold fast

to their beliefs, follow their hearts, and always dare to

dream.

"The more women fly, the more who become pilots, the quicker we

will be recognized as an important factor in aviation," said

Amelia. Her parting Words to Louise Thaden, a fellow Ninety-Nine

were, "If I should bop off, it'll be doing the thing that I've

always most wanted to do."

By becoming the first woman to cross the Atlantic in an airplane,

Amelia gained immediate fame. She is still remembered as the

outstanding female pilot of her time. She did not, however, seek to

set herself apart from other female pilots. Several female pilots,

including the French Baroness Raymonde de Laroche, Bessica Raiche,

Blanche Stuart Scott, Harriet Quimby, Laura Bromwell, Katherine

Stinson, and Bessie Coleman helped pave the way for female

aviators.
