Newfound Appreciation for Amelia Earhart

The National Portrait Gallery had a great exhibition on Amelia Earhart. I've always liked her, ever since I did a report on her in sixth grade, even though I don't remember anything about her. I still have the pilot hat I wore, though. The museum had a letter she wrote to her husband right before she married him on display, and it made me realize what a badass she was. The letter expressed her apprehension towards marriage and how flying will always be her first love, which makes her the ultimate feminist.
