No, though certainly the best-known aviatrix. The first licensed woman pilot in the United States was Harriet Quimby, who was also a journalist and part-time actress, at the time of her death she was the dramatic editor of a prominent weekly magazine. Harriet"s life dates were l875-l9l2. She was belatedly honored on a U.S. Airmail stamp some years ago. An attractive woman, she looked and may have been partly Italian. She did visit Italy for a magazine thing (Prior to her involvement with aviation). To tell the truth she looked more than a little like Gina in a purple Flight suit.

No, although she is one of the most know. Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, with many other accomplishments. She changed the way the world looked at women. We can thank her for all the things women can do today. She might not of been the one to personally change this but I would say she helped.

Amelia was not the first woman pilot. Many women flew before she did.
