Amelia Earhart sets records that no woman has achieved before. She pilots her plane alone across the Atlantic Ocean in 1932, becoming the first woman to complete this dangerous journey. Three years later, she conquers the Pacific, again flying solo where no woman has flown. Her aviation career builds from childhood dreams to international fame. In 1937, she attempts her most ambitious flight yet: circling the entire globe. Somewhere over the Pacific Ocean, her plane disappears without a trace. The mystery of what happened to Earhart remains unsolved. This biography traces her path from curious young girl to pioneering aviator, showing how she challenged the limits placed on women in her era.
