She knew what she wanted...

Amelia Earhart, president of the 99's, women pilot's organization, poses with three members for a benefit roller skating party held in 1933 to raise funds for a plane. Left to right: Earhart (1897-1937) often expressed that women can and must take on challenges. She set an example in her love of flying, as she said, "for the fun of it.” Elvy Kalep, the first civilian pilot in Estonia, created aviation books & toys, and was an artist & linguist; Frances Marsalis (ca. 1890-1934), racing pilot, set the endurance record of 10 days aloft; Betty Gillies (b. 1908) demonstrated & sold planes, & was a commander in the WASPS. These women made a major contribution to. herstory, because they knew who they were and what they wanted.
