In the past, Eleanor Roosevelt said, “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” Indeed this is true. With determination, the shy, fearful girl with a tough childhood chose her own path in life and got to where she was known today, as a heroic person who did extraordinary, positive deeds for humanity. A real hero is someone who shows courage, selflessness, willingness, as well as empathy to others by his or her actions. Proving to people that women can handle many difficult tasks, supporting human rights, along with turning the role of first lady into more than just greeting guests at the White House has definitely shown that Eleanor Roosevelt is truly an influential hero in U.S History.

Women were not allowed to smoke in public, they couldn’t even leave the house without an older woman or a married woman. Of course as we all know women can do that now. Women also had to wear nice long professional dresses when they were in public view. It was unacceptable for a woman to smoke in public. Many found it unladylike, today women smoke in public. Women were also expected to stay at home and cook food and take care of the children and whatever house work needed to be done. Some women were allowed to have jobs but it wasn’t any factory jobs or major work like the guys did that didn’t believe the girls could do better or at all.

As she “wasn 't afraid to break down barriers” that was a good thing because their were “not many female pilots” (amelia earhart museum). When Earhart was young she had to face many people in general for example “she liked doing boy activities like shooting rats and climbing trees” (amelia earhart museum). When Earhart was young her father had become a drunk and he spent most of the families money on drinks. This soon “resulted in earhart saving her own money and with her moms help took flying lessons and bought a plane” (purdue...). Later on she “worked as a nurse during spanish influenza and caught flu herself but survived through it” (amelia earhart). Before she had her flights, people questioned whether “she would be able to successfully perform a safe flight” (biographies). In the 1920s and 1930s it was a “popular belief that flying was not a ladylike activity and that women who took part in it must be somehow abnormal” (purdue…). Earhart ignored what people said about her and her being a woman, but instead she followed her dreams and achieved her
