Passage 1
Therese Peltier

Many people think that Amelia Earhart was the first woman pilot. She certainly is the most famous one! However, the first woman to fly an airplane by herself was a woman named Therese Peltier. Born in France, Peltier was an artist by trade. She was friends with a man named Leon Delagrange. He was a pioneer in the study of flight. Therese was his passenger when he recorded the longest flight in 1908. It was 30 minutes and 28 seconds long. Therese must have gotten the flying bug from Leon. She became the first woman to fly all by herself. She went 200 meters. But she was only 2.5 meters off the ground. That's not very high compared to how high our jet planes fly today. For that time period, it was an amazing flight.

Passage 2
Elizabeth Blackwell

In 1832, a smart young lady got on a boat in England with her family. She was on her way to the United States. Her name was Elizabeth Blackwell. Her rich father paid for private tutors for her and her sisters. Most women were not educated at that time. However, Elizabeth saw a need for women to be able to talk with a female doctor. So, she became interested in medicine. She studied by herself for a long time. She was afraid of what others would think of her.
Elizabeth finally applied to Geneva Medical School in New York. Her classmates were not happy. She ended up finishing her studies in England and then France. She returned to the U. S. in 1851. Since no hospital would have her, she opened a practice in her own home. Women and children flocked to her. She was able to win the respect of other male doctors. She became famous as the first woman doctor in the U. S.
