Review Quotes

The Quotable Amelia Earhart will inspire young people who still dream of flying. Nearly a century later, Amelia Earhart's words remain timely for anyone trying to break the barriers imposed by education, tradition, and government.--Stephen G. Craft, author of Embry-Riddle at War: Aviation Training during World War II

[A] fascinating collection of wise and witty words. . . . Highly recommended.
--American Reference Books Annual

[Earhart's] quotes reveal a practical-minded woman . . . who believed that women should proudly live up to their fullest potential in the workplace, many decades before this belief became widely accepted in America.
--Midwest Book Review

This is the real Amelia Earhart. It is a comprehensive study, review, and presentation of Amelia Earhart based on her writings and sayings and not someone else's interpretation of her.--Donald M. Goldstein, coauthor of Amelia: A Life of the Aviation Legend

Those who know Earhart for her achievements in flight may be surprised to discover her oft-controversial views on gender, marriage, and family. . . . It is clear to see how Earhart's own words will surely charm readers seeking insight into the opinions of this forward-thinking pioneer.
