No, it was even rumored that she was heavily involved with well known California arist of the time Xavier Martinez, as well as artist Ernest Pexitto. Harriet's reason for never getting married was that she had devoted her life to her career, and in those days (Early 1900's) you had a social choice of career or being a housewife. We don't know much about Harriet's personal or romantic life, but being the stunningly beautiful, daring, unconventional woman that she was, she certainly would have had suitors lining up outside her door, was an active and much-sought-after participant in New York City high society of the Edwardian Era, within the constraints of the 1900's, very likely did have her share of romantic attachments.

There is no documented evidence to confirm Ruth Nichols' sexual orientation, so it remains speculative. Nichols was a pioneering aviatrix in a male-dominated field and focused on her passion for aviation to break barriers.

Ms. Nichols had a passion for flying from the time she was young and continued on with her career of breaking the Women's Records for flying distance.

Ruth Rowland Nichols , first of all could not have murdered anybody as she was a conscientious QUAKER. You know, Like WM.Penn.

Ruth was a prominent aviatrix in her own right and held a number of records and was also involved in the charitable Relief Wings. if there was a rivalry between them, it did not , and probably could not extend to violence.
