All about Amelia Earhart - Paperback

by Jennifer Mujezinovic , Lew Freedman (Author)

Amelia Earhart was a pioneer pilot and was known as the best aviator of her time. She was a daring, skillful, and courageous woman who broke flight records of speed and distance. One of her greatest achievements was in 1932, when she became the first female pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She succeeded in a time when people believed that piloting was only for men, but Amelia proved that female pilots were just as capable and courageous. In all of her pursuits, Amelia worked hard to promote the rights of girls and women. Earhart always encouraged women to take charge of their own lives, and never to be discouraged by the doubts of others.
