Today is released "Amelia", a biopic movie about Amelia Earhart, who became the first aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.
I had the chance to see the movie yesterday. I did not like it very much, but the film is a good opportunity to discover the speeches of Amelia Earhart. She used her popularity to deliver messages, for instance in favour of the women rights. Moreover, some of her talks brought to the audience her feelings as a pilot. A good example of this are the words she pronounced when the National Geographic Society awarded her the Society's Special Medal. Amelia's Earhart acceptance speech is a simple but "vivid" description of her flights. She even said clearly which facts had been exaggerated by others in order to made her trips more spectacular. You can read but also listen to the voice of Amelia Earhart.
Furthermore, The Aviation-Online Network located two "rare" speeches of the most popular woman in the Aviation History.
