EACH YEAR WE HONOR WOMEN AROUND THE WORLD FOR THEIR INSPIRING WORK.
To date, 100+ women of vision, courage and pioneering spirit have been honored with The Women Have Wings Award. This global recognition increases the awareness of their work, infuses their in-country movements with desperately needed resources and fosters collaboration between annual Award recipients and the larger global community.
With an endowment funded by the sale of the only flying and fully-restored sistership of Earhart’s 1935 Lockheed Electra 10E, Women Have Wings will honor women well into the future. The inaugural year of The Women Have Wings Award – 2012 – celebrated the 75th anniversary of Amelia Earhart’s notorious global flight.
Women Have Wings acknowledges the generous efforts of its Global Council of Advisors, for without their wisdom, this Award would not be possible.
