Inspiration for IWD 2025

Amelia Earhart is our inspiration for this International Women's Day. A timeless role model and the inspiration behind Beerhart - Mad Squirrel’s limited release beer created specifically for IWD 2025.

On International Women’s Day, we celebrate the pioneers who have broken barriers and paved the way for future generations. One of the most inspiring figures in history is Amelia Earhart, a woman who defied societal norms, conquered the skies, and left a lasting legacy of courage and determination.

Amelia Earhart wasn’t just the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic; she was a trailblazer who refused to accept the limitations placed on women in her time. At a time when aviation was dominated by men, she stepped into the cockpit and proved that skill, passion, and perseverance mattered more than gender. She didn’t just fly, she soared, setting records and inspiring countless women to pursue their dreams, no matter how unreachable they seemed.

Her legacy extends beyond aviation. She was a fierce advocate for women’s rights, believing that women should be encouraged to follow their ambitions, whether in the air, in the boardroom, or anywhere else. Her famous words, “Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others.” still resonate today.

Amelia’s story reminds us that barriers are meant to be broken. She teaches us the importance of resilience, bravery, and unwavering self-belief, qualities that continue to inspire women striving for leadership, innovation, and equality.

So, as we celebrate International Women’s Day 2025, let’s raise a glass of Beerhart and take a moment to honour Amelia Earhart, not just as a pilot, but as a symbol of what is possible when women dare to dream big and refuse to be grounded by limitations.
