AMAZING WOMAN: JERRIE MOCK
“I DID NOT CONFORM TO WHAT GIRLS DID. WHAT THE GIRLS DID WAS BORING,”
said Jerrie Mock. And one could argue that her refusal to cooperate is what helped to make her great. She became interested in planes at the age of seven, and at one point, she was the only female aeronautical engineering major at Ohio State. Although she was a 38 year-old housewife in 1964, Mock set on a 23,000 flight across the world, becoming the first woman to circumnavigate the globe and finishing what her childhood hero Amelia Earhart never could. And, if that isn't enough, Mock later wrote a successful memoir about her travels, Three-Eight Charlie.
Ms. Mock, thank you for inspiring us to take flight!

50 years ago this spring, #JerrieMock became the first woman to fly solo around the world, taking off and landing in #columbus. this weekend, @jenisicecreams is celebrating her achievements with a petition to move her plane, the #SpiritOfColumbus, to the #NationalMall. we also have stationery pre-addressed if youd like to send jerrie a note. we have spirit of columbus tshirts from @homage, and the Jerrie Mock Turtle Sundae. hooray for female pioneers! ✈️ (at Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams)
