Abstract
Amelia Earhart and Lillian Gilbreth are well-known for their accomplishments during the 20th century in aviation and industrial management, respectively. Both were outspoken advocates of women having professional careers during a time when that was uncommon. For these reasons, in 1935, Edward C. Elliott, then president of Purdue University, hired Earhart and Gilbreth. Earhart served as counselor on careers for women and consultant for aeronautics until her death in 1937 and Gilbreth as counselor and professor of management until 1948. Their contributions provide a beacon for the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society in its continual striving for diversity and equality for all members.
