The wreckage was never found, and Earhart was officially declared lost at sea. It was during an attempt to fly around the world that Earhart’s plane disappeared, somewhere over the Pacific in July 1937. And that was just one of her many, many achievements, all in the name of advancing women in aviation. In 1928, American aviator Earhart became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. Aged just 17 in the photo, French-born Ginesta was a member of the Unified Socialist Party of Catalonia.
This 1936 photograph of Marina Ginesta, a social activist, journalist, and translator, looking out over Barcelona from the roof of the Hotel Colon is one of the most iconic images of the Spanish Civil War. So, give it up for these completely badass women, who were owning feminism way before we donned our pussy hats.
There's never a bad time to look back and recognise some of the ground-breaking achievements of our foremothers. Take action: Sexist Laws Have No Place in 2018. As amazing as the current movement is, we’d be nothing without the strong foundations laid by powerful women through history. But, let’s be honest, feminism isn’t exactly a 21st-century initiative. Everywhere you look there are strong women and girls proving that whatever men can do, they can do, too.įeminists around the world are calling for change, because the fight for equality isn’t over yet.
