Highlights presents Amelia Earhart written by Judith Bauer Stamper. Amelia Earhart led a life that defied stereotypes about the role of women in society. From the time she was a child, she was an active person, often doing activities that at that time were reserved for boys. As an adult, she experienced flying and discovered her passion in life. Soon she became a record-setting pilot and eventually became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean, as well as the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. During her last trip, which was to take her around the world at its widest point, her plane lost contact and went missing. Earhart was never seen again, leaving her disappearance a mystery that is still debated today.
