This award is presented to an outstanding local woman who succeeds in a predominately male field. Zonta Club of Pittsburgh is proud to honor these women as part of the legacy of Amelia Earhart, a famous air pioneer and a member of Zonta International. By her example, Amelia Earhart encouraged women to expand their horizons by exploring occupations and holding positions beyond those traditionally held by women.
