My wife and I were excited to get this book for our seven year old daughter because we are fans of the Amelia Earhart and she's a wonderful role model for girls. Here are some passages in this children's book to help you with your decision to purchase this book or not.Page 3: "...Many people still thought women were not strong enough or smart enough to have jobs outside the house. But Amelia's actions proved that bravery and brains were not only for males only."Pape 20: "The head of the Ogontz School was a woman named Miss Sutherland. At first, Amelia did not like her. But in time, she changed her mind. Miss Sutherland was strict but very smart. She had her own opinions on all sorts of subjects. And although Miss Sutherland had had many chances to marry, she never did. Miss Sutherland was more interested in her career than a husband. Miss Sutherland was an independent woman who made a big impression on her pupils."Page 26: "At the time, most men wanted wives who would stay home. That was fine with most women. But not Amelia. She could not understand why a woman had to give up work just because of a wedding ring. Amelia wanted a career - she just couldn't what career she wanted."Page 28: "Amelia was seeing a young man named Sam Chapman. Sam asked Amelia to marry him. But Amelia knew that Sam would not want her to have a career. She said no. Amelia knew what she didn't want."Page 37: "Then Amelia's friend and teacher, Neta Snook, got married. Just as Amelia feared, her friend's flying days were over. Neta would now be a wife and mother. So Amelia needed another instructor."Page 43: "Sam Chapman followed Amelia out East. He proposed marriage again. It was tempting. Amelia was now 28 years old.
