Summary:
As a girl,
Amelia
Earhart
aspired to a future that would take her beyond the family and medical problems of her younger years, as well as the restrictions imposed on her because she was female. Widely celebrated for her long-distance flights, she also set records for altitude and speed, and helped develop passenger airline service. As a writer and magazine editor,
Earhart
also further advanced the cause of flight and of
women
in aviation. Her disappearance during a daring around-the-world flight in 1937 has been a source of intrigue for nearly 80 years.
Earhart
's life and career has provided inspiration to generations of young people, particularly those whose paths have been beset with obstacles and barriers.
