January 11 - Earhart flies alone
THE HISTORY
On this day in 1935, Amelia Earhart became the first person (not first woman) to fly solo from Hawaii to California. Others had attempted the trip before her. Seven years earlier, the pineapple tycoon James Dole had offered $25,000 to the first team to fly from Oakland to Honolulu. Tragically, ten people died before the race was over.
But when Amelia took off, going the other direction, she had an uneventful flight. She was so relaxed that during the last few hours, she listened to a broadcast from the Metropolitan Opera.
THE LESSON
As is so often the case, the lesson is that women have been striving and achieving for centuries; feminism is neither recent nor unique to the U.S. Although Amelia Earhart was besting male pilots in the air nearly a hundred years ago, today only 5% of the members of the Air Line Pilots Association are women.
I've included the link to a CNN article below titled "Why aren't more women airline pilots?" I found the article slightly disingenuous in its wide-eyed confusion. Check out the other link, an article from Mireille Goyer forAVweb. She writes:
And why, when women constitute more than half of the total U.S. population, hold 60% of the wealth and have veto power over 95% of family purchases, is there virtually no aviation industry advertising directed at female consumers? ...
Let's take a look at how women are treated in another traditionally male sector, the motorcycle industry. Did you know that Harley Davidson reserves an entire section of their Web site to women riders with subsections such as riding courses, mentoring, the right bike, and, oh yes, riding gear and apparel? Were you aware that there is also a Women Riders' Month? It is actually just good business practice. From 2003 to 2008, Harley Davidson saw a whopping 29 percent increase in the number of female motorcycle owners.
As far as we've come to level the playing field, women are working against thousands of years of patriarchal bias. Most of the men I know aren't chauvinistic, they're simply unaware of the subtle ways in which life has been tailored to accomodate men and not women.
I should mention that this date may mark another first for women, although I haven't been able to verify it. On January 11 in Maine, Frances Moulton took over the reins of a national bank, probably becoming the first woman in America to do so. Today, only 16.7% of our bank executives are women and out of 13 executives who report directly to Citi CEO Michael Corbat, none are female.
