![“Because of [Amelia Earhart], we had more women available to fly in the 1940's to help us get through World War II. And because of these women, women of my generation are able to look back and say, 'Hey, they did it. They even flew military airplanes, we can do it, too.'” quote by Eileen Collins](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/6cd/eileen-collins-41444_able_because-of-amelia-earhart-we-had-more-wo_1482235.jpg)
