Abstract
This research proposal discusses the effect on the motivation of women to go into flying, of the finding of Amelia Earhart's long lost plane. Amelia Earhart has been a source of motivation and inspiration for women in aviation for decades. The research hypothesis is that finding her plane would discourage women from flying as they would be reminded of a tragedy-Earhart's accidental death.

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at the life and aviation achievements of Amelia Earhart. Through her achievements, the writer demonstrates why she had such a significant influence on women's advancement and aviation in general.

From the Paper
"The life and aviation career of Amelia Earhart left a tremendous impact on the world of aviation. While there were other female pilots before Earhart, many of them faster or more decorated, Earhart's popularity with the public helped expand the role of women in aviation more than any female flier of her era. When the Wright Brothers' plane took to the air women were still prohibited the vote and viewed as inferior to men,when it came to what was considered a male occupation like ..."

" Triumph and Tragedy of Amelia Earhart
Amelia Earhart's life was full of contradictions. It contained great triumphs and ended in great tragedy. Amelia Earhart and her husband, George Putnam, created the image of Amelia Earhart. Her image of the female aviatrix, which gave her a platform for dispersing her views on a woman's place in society, was a triumph for Amelia Earhart and for the feminist movement. The creation, of this famous image, allowed Amelia Earhart to pursue and gain financial backing for a career in aviation. Amelia Earhart's public image, and, her record breaking flights had a synergetic effect on her life. Her life of independence was upheld as an example to women. Amelia Earhart's failed attempt to circumnavigate the globe, which ended her life, was a terrible tragedy. "

Abstract
In this review of Mary S. Lovell's book, "The Sound of Wings", the writer suggests that Lovell is not so much interested in Amelia Earhart's aviation career and accomplishments, but rather in the developing cult of personality in America of the 1920s. The reviewer describes Lovell's treatment of Earhart's relationship with her husband, George Palmer Putman, and his impact on her career. Furthermore, the writer suggests that by concentrating on Earhart's relationship with her husband and his attempts to promote her for commercial reasons, and by not examining her contributions to the development of aviation, Lovell denigrates Earhart's legacy.

From the Paper
"Lovell's work chronicles the evolving implications of Amelia Earhart's husband George Palmer Putnam on her career. Putnam emerges in the text as a pure showman, eventually divorcing his first wife, heir to the Crayola empire, to pursue a more lucrative career exploiting Earhart's supposed technical prowess at an aircraft's controls. In fact, Lovell suggests that even before Earhart became an aviatrix, Lovell had already begun to pen the supposed autobiography of Amelia's first flight, which would propel her to world fame. After gaining fame as a pioneer of women's liberation, Earhart was called to speak to countless audiences, and became a tireless endorser of everything from cigarettes to clothes."

Abstract
This paper discusses the historical role of women. It begins with a description of women's lives and the beginning of social movements in the 19th century. Susan B. Anthony is profiled to represent this period. The paper proceeds by depicting the changes in women's roles in the 20th century. Amelia Earhart and Rosa Louise Parks are used to illustrate the advances women made in their education, careers and the political sphere. The author argues that in spite of these advances women in the 21st century still face many of the same challenges that they faced in the past, especially with regard to discrimination and human rights.

Women and History: A Brief Analysis

From the Paper
"We have seen that women, as a social group, have generated huge interests not only from the scientific, academic community but also from other progressive sectors of the society. Women are very much a part of our everyday lives - they are our mothers, sisters, or daughters but they are also a part of the grander scheme of society that stigmatizes women. Sociologists, for example, found it useful to label women as minority group because it is a basic social fact that women are discriminated against because of their physical characteristics (Henslin 93).
"It is in this light that the author aims to fully understand the many facets of womanhood in history and society. Moreover, the author believes that this can be fully achieved by understanding the historical role of women - the many directions that led women to where they are right now.
"This objective can be achieved by discussing women in the context of social and labor roles as well as their achievements in the field of progressive and liberation movements to name a few. This work shall also provide profiling information on some notable names in gender history, such as Susan B. Anthony, Rosa Parks, Amelia Earhart, and Oprah Winfrey to better situate women and their achievements in their respective periods in history."

Abstract
The paper examines the attitudes towards women from the perspective of Sir Philip Sidney's poetry, and shows how women were blamed for the downfall of men. The paper then looks at how Amelia Lanyer addresses the sinning of Adam and Eve and explains how she defends women as more pure and righteous, with Adam also to blame for Eve's sin.

From the Paper
"Sir Philip Sidney's writing differed to Amelia Lanyer's writing by the way of which gender is truly to blame for the downfall of people. By comparing several of Sidney's poems with Lanyer's "Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum", the reader can better understand attitudes towards women from the perspective of both men and women of the time. Although neither poet can speak for every male or female, the male view of women was fairly common. Women, unless royalty, did not generally have a voice in the academic or political world. From reading Lanyer's work however, the reader can assume she took on a voice that was probably held or thought of, just not expressed yet, by other women."

Abstract
This paper will compare and contrast these three poems- William Blake's "The Little Black Boy", William Cowper's "The Negro's Complaint" and Amelia Anderson Opie's "The Black Man's Lament." The focus of the paper will be to analyze Blake's poem and create a compare and contrast with the two other poems studied here. By analyzing this we can see the differences in the meditations of the authors about black people in this context.

Abstract
The paper asserts that William Makepeace Thackeray's "Vanity Fair" is a broad satire on the Victorian Age that was based on self-centered aspiration. The paper analyzes the two heroines, Amelia Sedley and Becky Sharp, who are from opposite ends of the economic spectrum, and highlights how they are both vain and self-serving in their own way. The paper posits that the author is showing how vanity springs from all strata of society since it is inherently human.

From the Paper
"In his novel Vanity Fair it is Thackeray's intention to create a canvass where all the characters are vain. The intention is announced in the subtitle, which reads "A Novel Without a Hero". There is no character in it with heroic qualities to admire, and we search in vain for a reference point of virtue by which to compare the rest. It is not Thackeray's intention to explain why certain people are vain, or to provide a lesson in how to live honestly, or even how to uproot such hypocrisy and vanity from society. We must take the novel as a broad satire on Victorian England and the Utilitarian ethos that was overcoming urban society at the time."

Abstract
In the novel, "Vanity Fair," one of William Makepeace Thackeray's moral purposes is to demonstrate the consequences of human vanity and its counterpart, self-interest. This paper shows how Thackeray explores various forms of human vanity and selfishness, focusing on the character of Amelia Sedley.

From the Paper
"In this context, we see Amelia's foolish vanity in arraying her ass, George, in the persona of a manly idol. Even though his love for her is shallow and prompted by his own vanity, he has condescended to let her love him, to let her imagination array him in noble attributes that he does not possess. She in turn shows excessive pride in George's appearance and achievements, both real and imagined. Amelia's obsessive idolatry is the epitome of vanity. How could she, the virtuous good girl, love any being who is less than the perfect man? A faltering, awkward fellow such as Dobbin could not hope to win the affections of a woman who worships an ideal lover that she has created, and who resides, in her mind."
