Amelia Mary Earhartthe first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic.

The story Let me tell you a story about the girl named Amelia – the girl that grew to be a first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. Little Amelia saw her first plane at a state fair when she was just 10 – oddly enough she was not impressed. Time flew by and a decade later, when she attended a stunt-flying exhibition something had changed. The young woman fell in love with aviation. Little had Amelia known of the challenging prejudicial and financial obstacles that awaited her. After all she was a woman. Our brave little Amelia had a secret source of strength – she kept a scrapbook of newspaper clippings about successful women in predominantly male-oriented fields, including film direction and production, law, advertising, management, and mechanical engineering. She would turn to that scrapbook whenever she faced adversity. The girl turned into a women – and that woman's life also began to include George Putnam. Together they worked on secret plans for our Amelia to become the first woman to fly solo the Atlantic. One special day Amelia took off and after a long flight that brave girl landed in a pasture at Culmore, north of Derry, Northern Ireland. That was the day Amelia proved that women can do whatever they dream of. And it felt good. !The facts Amelia Mary Earhart (July 24, 1897 – disappeared July 2, 1937) was an American aviation pioneer and author.
