This is an inspiring story for girls everywhere. Two ordinary women meet up one night to have dinner, except one happens to be famous aviatrix Amelia Earhart and the other First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. While eating dinner in the White House, Amelia shares how amazing it is to fly at night over the city. Eleanor seems interested, so Amelia offers to take her up flying after dinner. Despite what others think, the women end up flying from Washington to Baltimore and back. After returning to the White House, Eleanor takes Amelia for a ride around the city in her brand new car. Even though they come from completely different backgrounds and lead different lives, both women are strong with an independent outlook on life. This brings them together and helps them become close friends. This wonderful story shows girls it is okay to be independent and promotes gender equality in children.
