Amelia Earhart: A First-Person Portrayal

Amelia
Earhart's courageous exploits and spirited personality made her an
international celebrity in the early 20th century. She was the first woman to
cross the Atlantic by airplane (1928) and the first woman to fly solo across
the Atlantic (1932). She set numerous speed and altitude records and received
high honors and awards. On July 2, 1937, she and her navigator Fred Noonan
mysteriously disappeared over the Pacific Ocean during their attempted
round-the-world flight. Set in 1937, Leslie Goddard’s portrayal recounts
Earhart's life, the many records she broke, her unconventional views on
marriage, and her tireless work to promote aviation and opportunities for
women.  Registration is $10 member; $13
