Amelia Earhart was born July 24, 1897, in Atchison, Kansas. She was a record-breaking pilot and known for breaking barriers for women at a time when most pilots were men. She proved that women could succeed in aviation and other challenging careers.
Earhart was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. In 1937, Earhart attempted to fly around the world with navigator Fred Noonan but during the trip, their plane disappeared over the Pacific Ocean near Howland Island and neither the plane or the crew were found leading to her disappearance. Her achievements still showed the world that women are capable of doing the same things as men.
Because of her bravery, she inspired many women to follow their own dreams and pursue careers in fields that were dominated by men. Amelia Earhart also co-founded The Ninety Nines, an organization for female pilots that provides mentorships, scholarships, and networking opportunities to help women succeed.
“Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail ,their failure should be a challenge to others.” ~ Amelia Earhart
