Amelia Earhart Should Be Added To The Book

Decent Essays
I think that all of the women in the book deserve a spot because they all did something that changed the world! However, in my opinion, I think that Amelia Earhart should be added to this book because she showed women that they can accomplish their dreams and goals. She kept trying until she finally succeeded in her flights and impressed the world. Another woman that should be added is Michelle Obama because she helped kids get active and she was the first African American first lady. One more woman that should be added is Rosa parks because she was an African American rights supporter. She didn’t give up her seat on the bus to a white American and she stood her ground. Finally, one more person that should be added is Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

    The Civil War is already known as one of the most devastating and destructive wars in American history, though many sacrifices were made that are still very seldom mentioned. As every Great War requires great effort and dedication on all fronts, it makes sense that the greatest war would have the greatest amounts of such effort and dedication.

The largest group of unsung heroes in this war were the massive numbers of women who supported our nation and made monumental contributions in the war. These women are hardly mentioned in textbooks, but are certainly worthy of note for their bravery and strength during this dark time in…
