Amelia Earhart 1897-1937
“Never interrupt someone doing something you said couldn't be done.”
Amelia Earhart was an American pilot and the first woman to fly across the Atlantic in 1928. At a time when female pilots were regarded as less competent than their male colleagues, and sometimes not even considered as "real" women, Amelia set several aviation records, received awards and made a series of dangerous long distance flights.
She was ahead of her time in many ways and fought for women's rights, especially the right of women to learn to fly. She defied conventions, and encouraged women to have the courage to find their passion in life, setting goals and reaching them.
Simone de Beauvoir 1908 - 1986
"One is not born, but rather becomes a woman".
When Simone de Beauvoir published her book "The Second Sex" in France in 1949, it hit like a bomb, and was greeted by cheers as well as furious protests.
In her groundbreaking work Simone writes about women's roles, women's oppression, and what it means to be a woman. Simone de Beauvoir angered and provoked. She was laughed at, mocked, and the book was placed on the Vatican's list of banned books.
Simone's ideas have however had a huge impact and started a whole new wave of feminist thinking. The book is usually called the bible of feminism and is still regarded as a major work of women´s liberation and gender equality.
