Title: Amelia's Poetry
Post by: Matt Revington on October 19, 2021, 10:04:40 AM: I doubt it will be of any assistance in the search but a collection of poems by women pilots has recently been published including several from AE.

How many Earhart fans know she was included as one of the world's leading communists in the infamous 1934 Diego Rivera fresco at Rockefeller Center "Man at the Crossroads (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_at_the_Crossroads)."

In a May 22, 1936 letter to her mother she wrote:
“Please don’t down the Roosevelt administration. It’s all right to be reactionary inside but it is out of step with the times to sound off about the chosen people who have inherited or grabbed the earth. You must think of me when you converse and I believe the experiments carried on today point the way to a new social order when governments will be the voice of the proletariat far more than democracy can ever be.”

That’s pure Marxism.
