Amelia Earhart
- Amelia Earhart lived in Boston, New York during the early 1939's. She worked full time job yet managed to fly in her free time. She was the first woman to fly the Atlantic in 1932. Although she wasn't the pilot and just merely a passenger, it was still a huge accomplishment in women's history that allowed hundreds of thousands of women to be recognized a person rather than an object. Over the next few years, she began flying farther and farther distances on her own. In 1935 she flew solo from Hawaii to California.This is what led her to her title as the First President of the Ninety-Nines: an organization for female pilots that is still standing strong today. On her first solo trip across the Pacific, she disappeared. There are many theories but no one is completely sure what happened. Earhart had crossed the Atlantic multiple times before so the disappearance of the great female pilot shocked people all over the world. It took 80 years for anyone to find a single clue related to her fall off the Earth.
