Amelia Earhart (1897-1937)
Through her aviation exploits and her husband's expert management skills, Amelia Earhart is fondly remembered even today, more than sixty years after her fatal flight around the world. Of a somewhat feminist mind even as a child, her flying career became, to a large degree, focused on proving the equality of women and attempting to open up new opportunities for them. Her parents encouraged this kind of independence and never discouraged her tomboyish tendencies in an age when the division of men and women's activities was most strict. In this way her childhood prepared the way for Amelia's fascinating, though fateful, career.
