Earhart Rebellion

Have you ever been daring enough to think outside the box or do something out of the ordinary? Maybe you have, or maybe you’ve been too scared to do it. Someone who wasn’t afraid was Amelia Earhart. She did something no one else had done or attempted to do before. Amelia Earhart, daring and outgoing from the start of her life, achieved many things, which is why she should be remembered because, indeed, flying is what ended her life.

Amelia Earhart was the first female aviation pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. Born on July 24, 1897, in Atchison, Kansas, Earhart started off as an nurse aide for Red Cross during WWI and was stationed in Toronto, Canada. Earhart soon developed a sense of love for airplanes while constantly watching fighter pilots and returned to the U.S. to enlist in flight school after the war. Amelia attended Columbia University in New York as a pre med student. Earhart’s first

Amelia Earhart inspired many women to follow their ambitions and dreams. She is still a symbol of the power and perseverance of American women. When she first saw an airplane, she wasn’t very interested, but as soon as she left the ground at a stunt-flying exhibition, she knew that she had to fly. Six

Amelia Earhart had a lot of challenges in her life, but she accomplished them by being a bold and brave woman. Earhart was young, bright, and full of energy and very curiosity. But she didn't know what she wanted to do with herself (Lauber 26). Until, one day she saw four one-legged men struggling down the sidewalk, and she decided to drop out of school and volunteered as a nurse's aide in the Toronto hospital for veterans (Lauber 27). Even though Earhart loved working as a nurse's aide, she still was undecided about what she wanted to do. After seeing the air show and taking some flying classes, Amelia Earhart was interested in becoming a pilot (Lauber 30).

“Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail their failure must be but a challenge to others.” Said Amelia Earhart, an instrumental supporter of the equal rights amendment, an amendment that was first proposed in Congress by the national women’s party in 1923 and it proposed that the united states constitution was designed to guarantee equal rights for all citizens regardless of gender. Amelia Earhart, during her exciting lifetime, proved that women could be as strong as men. She was born on July 24th in 1897. She was considered a tomboy and you could often find her climbing trees or hunting rats with her rifle. She even kept a journal of successful women in male-oriented fields. She saw her first plane at the state fair

Amelia Earhart was an experienced pilot. she was the first female pilot to fly across the atlantic ocean. That by itself is a very long flight for back then, but she wanted to step it up by flying across the whole world. (Crouch)

Amelia Earhart was one of the first pilots to revolutionize the skies, and what made her particularly iconic was the fact that she was one of the first woman to fly. She discovered her love for flight after watching the Royal Flying Corps train in Toronto, Canada whilst she served as a Red Cross nurse in WWI. She then had her first airplane ride in December 1920 in California with WWI pilot Frank Hawks. After this confirmation of her love for aviation, she began lessons with instructor Neta Snook, another early woman pilot. Amelia did all she could (taking odd jobs) in order to pay for her lessons and then her first airplane: a Kinner Airster. She passed her flight test and got her license in December 1921, and afterwards she set out to define herself as a pioneer in the field of aviation, becoming the first woman to fly solo 14,000 feet above sea level. Her biggest accomplishment was flying solo across the Atlantic Ocean, as she was the first woman to do so. She continued to fly for many years, but then on a flight outside of the United States, both she and her plane were lost near the Bermuda Triangle, and no wreckage was

In 1928, Amelia rode as a passenger and observer to become the first women to cross the Atlantic Ocean by plane (Amelia Earhart 1). Even though she wasn’t actually piloting the plane, it was still a big deal to people back then. Then in 1929 she founded the Ninety- Nines, an organization of women pilots (Amelia Earhart 1). That really helped with advancements in piloting for women and it was a great opportunity for people to learn about piloting. Amelia got married to George Putnam in 1931 (Amelia Earhart), yet she rarely wore her wedding ring and kept her own last name instead of taking her husband's (Amelia Earhart 63) This wasn’t because of any issues with their marriage, just Amelia’s choice.. George was always very supportive and encouraging of Amelia and her flying even if other people didn’t think it was possible. He wrote her biography titled ‘Soaring Wings’ after she disappeared and was published in 1939 (Amelia Earhart). She also became the first women to fly across the Atlantic Ocean alone in 1932. In addition to that she set many speed and distance records and helped with the movement of commercialised flights for citizens (Amelia Earhart 1) As you could imagine, this was a big deal at the time because no women even thought of these things and always left it to the

Amelia Earhart was an icon. She was a feminist. Not only a pioneer but also brave. During Amelia’s life, all the goals she had achieved were attained through pure perseverance and resilience. While Earhart had become well-known for being the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, she was likewise known throughout the world for her individual developments and aid in the feminist movement. She acknowledged a grander purpose in life which was the desire to live a life that surpassed beyond home and being confined in society. Her achievements in becoming an active feminist and succeeding in her dreams and goals prove her resilient courageous nature of being a woman during the 20th century despite being in a male dominant society.

She was the 16th woman to be given a pilot’s license and the first to fly across the Atlantic ocean. Because her family moved a lot looking for work she became independent and did not rely on her parents to provide for her. When she went to visit her sister in Canada she saw wounded soldiers returning from war. This prompted her to volunteer with the Red Cross where she met many injured pilots. This, coupled with the sight of the Royal Flying Corps practicing, gave her a strong admiration for aviation. In 1920 she went for her first plane ride at an airshow and from then on she devoted herself to learning how to fly. She took spare jobs and got enough money to go through aviation training. In 1921 she purchased a used airplane for herself and a year later flew it to 14,000 feet, a new world record for female pilots. She had to sell her plane a few years later to provide for her parents and it wasn’t until 1927 that she got back into flying. In 1928 she was asked by a fellow pilot to fly across the Atlantic and she immediately said yes. She went with two other pilots and didn’t fly at all due to the weather. Still, she was seen as a celebrity be many. In 1931 she set a new altitude world record at 18,415 feet. She was also involved in a women’s aviation group called the Ninety-Nines who aimed to advance women in aviation. On May 20th of 1932 she took off to fly across the Atlantic alone. After about 15 hours

Amelia Earhart is a legend in America for flying the airplane. She had a passion for planes that went beyond a hobby. Other than flying she also wrote a few books and developed a fashion trend of flight clothes. She had many accomplishments in her life time from going to college to being the first women to solo over the Atlantic. Amelia Earhart is known in the American perception as one of the world's most famous aviators. Amelia remains an icon of the power and perseverance of American women, and the adventurous spirit so essential to the American persona.

Earhart was encouraged by all of her life experiences, whether they are aviation, or just everyday happenings. She wanted to encourage women to succeed, and learn to work with

If completed, she would be the first female ever, and only second person, to fly solo across the Atlantic. Earhart took off May 20, 1932, in her Lockheed DL-1—exactly five years after Lindbergh was the first to make this historic flight. Mechanical problems and bad weather forced Earhart to land in a pasture near Londonderry, Ireland, rather than in Paris, but her achievement was undeniable. The National Geographic Society awarded her a gold medal, presented by President Herbert Hoover, and Congress award her a Distinguished Flying Cross. She was the first woman ever to receive each award. Earhart continued to set records and achieve firsts for females in aviation. In August 1932, she became the first woman to fly nonstop coast-to-coast across the continental United States in her Lockheed Vega. She also had the fastest nonstop transcontinental flight by a woman in 1932. Earhart received many awards and honors for her record-setting achievements. She won the Harmon Trophy as America’s Outstanding Airwoman for 1932, 1933, and 1934. She was given honorary membership in the National Aeronautic Association and was awarded the Cross of Knight of the Legion of Honor by the French government. Then on December 3, 1934, a pilot and two men with him had disappeared attempting to complete a flight from California to Hawaii. In spite of the disappearance and public opinion that the flight was both dangerous and pointless, Earhart made plans to complete the trip. Just a month later she took off from Wheeler Army Airfield near Honolulu and a little over 18 hours later she landed safely in Oakland,

I want to talk about 2 kinds of her famous saying. First, she said “Adventure is worthwhile in itself.” After army, I have challenged dream of pilot that I give shape to my long-cherished dream since young. To be a pilot, it needs more effort and challenge. This time, while I write about Amelia Earhart I think that I try to effort for my dream. I respect her who make enormous world records by hard endeavors despite of they don’t have about perfect plane and system. After wards, I want to give hope to people like Amelia Earhart who gives hope to all over the world. Second, she said “You can do anything you decide to do.” She have to work for her living and family circumstances but, she never give up her dream and try to archive the dream. Through

Amelia Earhart was a courageous woman who set high standards for woman aviators to follow. In other words, she made outstanding achievements. She was even able to break the records of her fellow male colleagues, which is a pretty big achievement. She also
