Better Half E3 - Amelia And Eleanor's Excellent Adventure 1933 - 1944 Scattered Curiosities

This third installment of our four-part Better Half mini-series departs from the regular format as it is not focused solely on the First Lady of the United States of America and only features one of them. Today's narrative was built around the 1933 evening when Amelia Earhart and Eleanor Roosevelt ducked out of a party at the White House to take a spontaneous flight to Baltimore. The two would forever be associated with aviation, Amelia for obvious reasons and Eleanor for traveling over 40,000 miles throughout her serving terms. Despite their thirteen-year age difference, the two had much more in common than air travel. Both taught, authored books, endorsed products for sponsors, fought for civil rights and refused to take their husbands' last names (a technicality for Eleanor). Put your seat tray up and buckle in for Amelia and Eleanor's Excellent Adventure.
