Amelia Mary Earhart was born on July 24, 1897 in Atchinson, Kansas to her parents Amy and Edwin Earhart. She also had a younger sister named Muriel, who was born in 1899. During World War 1, she left college to work at a military hospital, where her love for flying began after she met aviators. She then completed a semester at Columbia University, and then the University of Southern California. Her first plane ride was in 1920, in which she realized her passion and began taking flying lessons with Neta Snook. For her 25th birthday, she purchased a Kinner Airster Biplane and set the women’s altitude record of 14,000 ft. Earhart’s parents divorced in 1924 and soon after, Amelia would move with her mom and sister to Massachusetts. While in Massachusetts, Amelia would work as a settlement worker and would fly in air shows. Her life would change dramatically in 1928, when she was tapped to become the first woman to cross the Atlantic Ocean by plane. She would go on to become a media sensation and a symbol that women could achieve anything. And in 1929, helped found the Ninety-Nines, an organization of female aviators. In 1932, Amelia would become the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean as a pilot. She was hired as an aviation advisor and career counselor for women in 1935 at Purdue University. On June 1, 1937, Earhart would leave Miami with Navigator Fred Noonan. She was seeking to become the first woman to fly around the world. Unfortunately on July 2 1937, the plane would lose radio contact near the Howland Islands, which led to a plane crash. To this day, the plane, Amelia, and Fred have never been found. And Amelia was declared dead January 5, 1939.
