Did Amelia Earhart change culture

Answer 1

Yes, in some ways, she did. Unfortunately, the culture was not yet ready to accept women as equals in a number of professions, but she definitely showed the public what women were capable of. In the mid-1920s, most of the attention was on male aviator Charles Lindbergh, but a number of women had begun to fly too. Some like Ruth Elder and Elinor Smith made impressive flights, but did not get the publicity that Amelia was able to get. Photogenic, articulate and able to attract the media of her day, she captured the public imagination and demonstrated even for skeptics that women could fly a plane just like men could. And she definitely helped to create more awareness about women's abilities, by refuting the stereotype that women were incapable of handling a pressure-filled job like flying an airplane over a long distance.
