Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. Then she was the first person to fly across twice! She was a pilot at a time when it was almost unheard of to be a female in aviation. Imagine what she must have experienced socially when she said she wanted to fly. Imagine the pressure she must have felt to be anything than what she wanted to be.
