It's still absolutely worth celebrating.

Have you seen the average woman drive? I'm thrilled she could even navigate an airplane!

Flying due East was too complicated for her to figure out on her own so she first flew across the Atlantic as a passenger in a plane piloted by a man, and then just duplicated the route. When she tried the circumnavigation trip she brought along an actual male navigator, but she still managed to over ride him and take a wrong turn.

She tried following Lindbergh's trail to Paris but had to give up in Ireland.

I searched for "female pilot landing"

Immediately found this.

She was hailed as a hero because she didn't hit any cars!
